Bama vs SEC Teams

[I_Hate_Orange]

Is there anyone in the SEC that Alabama would beat on a neutral field this year? Just would like to get your thoughts.

(I don't think so)

I'm not sure there's anyone we could beat at BDS.

IMO, we come in dead last this year. Sad...

Cecil gives my answer best:

"It’s a disappointment because Alabama hasn’t gotten any better. If anything, things have gotten steadily worse. Yes, there were prognosticators who expected an average season, and a record around .500. What no one anticipated was a season when Alabama was playing on a par – maybe not worse, but certainly not demonstrably better – than the worst teams in the SEC, the perennial residents of the league cellar. The Crimson Tide played Vanderbilt, Ole Miss and Mississippi State, all at home. Alabama won one by a field goal, won another in overtime and probably wasn’t as close as the 24-16 final score indicated in the third one."

NO!

On the other hand, Bama beat Arkansas to death on their field and then had to work hard to give the game away by a single point in double OT. Also had a chance to win in the 4th quarter against Florida and the Barn. LSU handled us pretty easily by jumping out to a big lead, and of course we had the disaster against MSU. This is the most balanced I can remember the SEC being in my lifetime (38 years).

TM, you are absolutely correct. Had we played Vanderbilt and Hawaii later in the season we would now be 4-8 rather than 6-6. Not sure we could beat OM now so probably 3-9.
