What do you think about 9-3 season? My preseason prediction was 9-3 with losses to Tennessee, LSU and Oklahoma. Didn’t see Vandy loss or LSU win. Good start for new coach, staff, and players.
What do you think of Bama finishing 9-3?

The record itself is not surprising, but the penalties, inconsistency, and looking terrible for long stretches of game time have been a real disappointment. The meaningless coachspeak when asked any questions at all is going to take some getting used to. I really hope that DeBoer is able to translate his past success into future success, but it seems like as much of a crapshoot as which Alabama team will show up any given day.
I hate to say it but all of this has carried over from last season. Saban was able to manage it a little better as far as record, but this has shown up the past couple of years. I hope we get past it.
I'm happy with it, especially if we make the playoffs. I figured we would finish either 9-3 or 10-2, but I also kind of figured that would be good enough for the playoffs. That remains fo be seen, but I give DeBoer a B+ for this season when you take into account everything he has had to deal with.
If the 3 losses would have been Georgia, Tennessee and LSU it would have been easier to stomach. As it went we lost 2 games we shouldn't have. With our good wins we had we should have went 11-1.
But ironically, we would have less of a case for the playoffs if that had happened. SC would be our only quality win.
Given who are starting QB was going to be - 9-3 was the expectation....losses to UGA/UT and LSU..NOT OU and Vandy...
I mean, the bad losses don't seem to hsve hurt us all that much in the eyes of committee. We are the committee's top 3 loss team, after all.
The losses were expected but it’s the way we lost that made this year frustrating
I predicted 9-3 with losses to Georgia, LSU, and Tennessee. Honestly, we played about how I thought we would. The roots of what we're seeing started several years ago and -- with the coaching change, roster turnover, lack of cohesive culture -- showed up in a massive way this year. CKD has won everywhere he has been and we need to give him time to build his roster and fully install his offense. This was a make-do transition year.
Bottom line. 8-2 with such an easy route to the playoffs going against a 5-5 team (who later loses to LSU of all people 37-17 IS UNACCEPTABLE!!! I CANNOT SAY IT ENOUGH.
You tell me what you think about a 9-3 season.
Honestly, I get that most SEC fans are really idiotic but our fan base might exceed them.
In the immediate aftermath they’re all frustrating.
In the grand scheme of this season, only the UT loss is “acceptable”.
Vandy and OU losses without a doubt, unacceptable.
I jokingly told some rival fans we'd go 4-8, but the wins would be against GA, Tenn, LSU, and Auburn...
