That's not that different from a lot of polls.Joel Klatt. He absolutely hates Bama. Has Bama 9 and Baylor 2 in his mock poll I believe.

Klatt appears weekly on JOX. He is a bigot when it comes to Bama and the SEC. He is completely one-sided and totally hypocritical in his assessments and analyses. He often does it with a bit of humor which takes some of the edge off, but his intent is to diminish the SEC and especially Bama any way he can.That's not that different from a lot of polls.

Regardless, his poll isn't that bad. And, if we win out, it all takes care of itself.Klatt appears weekly on JOX. He is a bigot when it comes to Bama and the SEC.

To have Bama at 9 is, IMO, ridiculous. If someone has not heard him but only sees his list, I can understand dismissing him. But if you hear him, his lying intent is clear.Regardless, his poll isn't that bad. And, if we win out, it all takes care of itself.
With all due respect, I don't take the uTn game results that lightly. Two, or three, of the games uTn lost were games that they lost late, Utn is on a long losing streak to Bama and the emotion and desire was on their side. Utn is not that bad a team. Plus, utn had just come off of a bye. Bama, had just come off of a brutal three game stretch. Had not had a bye yet, and to a lot people, there appeared to be a case of 'tired' legs. But, once again, Bama came through. And believe me, I'm no fan of uTn. But I will give credit where credit is due. Furthermore, had Bama not played 'hot potato' with the ball against Ole Miss, NO one would be questioning Bama's place within the CFB standings. But, it is what it is.I could easily see Bama ranked 9. We have not set the world on fire, and a close win vs. UT doesn't scream to much higher.

We came through, but tired legs or not, that game should not have been that close. It just points to the inconsistency that we struggle with.With all due respect, I don't take the uTn game results that lightly.

Roll Tide, Beat LSU!
I agree, it should not have been that close. But, according to the 'experts' (of which I am not), UGA should have beaten Bama. And other than UGA, I can't remember when the last time was, over the past 7-8 years, that Bama should not have lost a game. But they did. They even lost three in one year. So, once again, with all due respect, should haves mean very little when it comes down to game time. Which is what makes CFB so much fun. Have a great Bama weekend!We came through, but tired legs or not, that game should not have been that close. It just points to the inconsistency that we struggle with.

Doesn't change the fact that we are terribly inconsistent, so any ranking between 4 and 10 would be justified.I agree, it should not have been that close.
