Game Thread: 2024 Week 10: Misc. Games catchall for your bye week.

  • HELLO AGAIN, Guest! We are back, live! We're still doing some troubleshooting and maintenance to fix a few remaining issues but everything looks stable now (except front page which we're working on over next day or two)

    Thanks for your patience and support! MUCH appreciated! --Brett (BamaNation)

    if you see any problems - please post them in the Troubleshooting board!

I live near Clemson and would love nothing more then SC boatracing them. Clemson fans are some of the worst around here, the Georgia fans are better sports then them.
It’s funny because, growing up outside of Columbia, I always found the Clemson fans to be pretty chill and the Carolina fans to be obnoxious. Clemson was a perennial 8-10 win team and were happy with it and dominated the in state rivalry. USC was always playing the jealous little brother. Every single year was gonna be “their year,” and they would be talking some crazy smack talk when they reached 6-0 or 6-2 or something. Then promptly lose the rest of their games. 😂

But ever since Clemson started playing in the playoffs and national championship games they have lost their heads! The Clemson fans I know from growing up now act as if they are the kings of college football and everyone else is a scrub, lol. Nice to see them brought back down to earth.

Yeah when we beat them in 2015 it was all " refs cheated it was a illegal onside kick" ect but when they won on a pick play at the last second they made sure to go out of their way to find me. That and 2018 made them insufferable. There are alot of Clemson fans around here( i live 20 minutes from the campus ) that have a unnatural hatred for Alabama and i cannot for the life of me figure out why.

You don’t know why “Auburn with a lake” would hate Alabama?

Maybe. I don’t think they would have lost to us or LSU if they were more competent on offense. I’m kinda surprised that they performed a huge beatdown on aTm, but not shocked that they beat them.

Right now I think the SEC is one great team and 2-3 very good teams. I think it’s more likely you have more B1G teams in the playoffs than SEC because too many SEC teams are getting owned by weaker competition in inexplicable ways. I mean do we really think Tennessee and Vanderbilt are really that good?
assuming this is who you are referring to, i don't think this year's georgia team would count as great.

Vandy is a whole lot better than they were in the past, but that is still a game BAMA should not lose. I hope that loss doesn't hang around to bite us in the butt.
 
There's more talent on more teams now than ever before. Call it parity or whatever. But it's there. There's a lot more talent coming out of high school than ever before. Add in NIL and the Portal, and we're seeing more and more good teams capable of beating "blue bloods" and high ranked teams. Just look at Vandy. Huge difference between last year and this year. And after losing by 2 to Bama, S. Carolina came back and beat Oklahoma and Texas A&M. With four games left in the regular season, there are no more undefeated SEC teams. They have been beating up on each other. And we see it elsewhere with upsets. And there's also a lot of good top notch coaches. And that matters.
I think going forward we will see very few undefeated teams in the SEC and B10. If a team can navigate those conferences undefeated they’ll be battle tested for the playoffs.

Georgia is still the best team in the SEC. If you are taking bets for who has the best chance to win it all from the SEC it’s hard not to put money on Georgia. Yes they are flawed and play down to competition, but they are clearly the deepest and most talented team in the SEC.

Yeah I know we beat them but since that night they have clearly been better than us.

Right now, any Bama fan thinking about playoffs or anything extra is still not seeing how Jekyll and Hyde we are. I think it’s just as plausible of us losing 3 of the next 4 as to winning out. We are really just hoping this bye week was the break we needed to win out. Because that is the only way we avoid a Florida or Tennessee bowl game at this point.

i agree that they are the best in the sec, but they are far from what i would consider a great team

If i was a georgia fan id be alarmed at how many picks Carson beck has thrown, 11 in the last 5 games.

I think it is way too early to determine that. Next week will be a clearer picture then the following. It really depends on who is peaking at the right time. Texas is in the conversation and we are not out of it yet. If we can limp into the playoffs we will be by far the most dangerous team.

We see the nature of what is going on with our team. But we still have a top 5 roster and probably top 2 tied with UGA. Have not been playing like it but way too soon to write us off yet. We will know when the clock strikes double zero in Death Valley Saturday night.
