Bama looks to be down some next season but they certainly will be back they will always be in the mix as long as Saban is there.

In the last 2 minutes of the game Bama had 6 FR on the field!

I think they'll be in the mix for a while.

I’m not saying they won’t be in the mix. They will. Just predicting they won’t win another title.

How many years we gonna say this? Bama looks stronger for the future than they ever have IMO. They had freshmen all over the field making important plays in this game.

I’ve never said it. I said it’s a bold prediction for a reason. Plus It’s not like I’m predicting them to suck. They’ll still win 10+ games minimum until Saban goes.

It's not really that bold when numerous people here have been making the said prediction for a good 6-7 years now.

Fair enough. I feel like anyone before hand was basing it off “hope” which I may be as well. But. I just think Saben has a maximum of 5 years left, and the SEC and college football as a whole will become more competitive. The SEC has upgraded on coaches big time.

Well I'm pretty confident he won't live forever.

I'm not 100% sure though.

Because UCF should gotten the 4th spot.

That’s a joke. If you start putting teams like that in a four team playoff, their opponent is basically getting a bye. Beating Auburn in a game they had no interest in is different that beating a top 4 power5 Team in a playoff.

As long as Nick's there they'll be in the mix. He's now 12-0 against his disciples

This is only the second time I’d say the talent level was close. Maybe Muschamp had a chance at Florida one yr. Other than that, the talent levels were mismatches, yes, including Mich St and Dantonio.

Where are the big time upgrades?

Pruitt is a complete unknown. Fisher is an upgrade. Mullen just moved in the SEC but MSU got worse and they're the one Bama plays yearly. LSU is a clown car with Ogre running it. Arkansas may or may not have improved. Missouri brought in Dooley, so they got much worse as a staff.

I laughed like a schoolgirl watching Bama's Tua as a freshman QB, steal all the accolades and high praise about Fromme being a freshman QB "so composed" 2 INts and the final sack in OT which forced them to take a 3 which Tua was sacked and threw the bomb TD pass for the win, named Offensive MVP of the game. Best freshman QB in the SEC this season, you still voting for Fromme? Not most playing time freshman QB, not most starts as a freshman QB, just best freshman QB, how you take it away from Tua who saved Bama's NC?

Fromm has been good all year. Tau had a good half.

They are a d1 team and should have a shot at the title. If certain teams are not allowed to play for a title, we need a new league.

Didnt alabama get a buy during chsmpionship week?

Coach Saban made the most incredible halftime adjustment in the history of national championships. We lost our best lineman at LT in Jonah Williams to start the 3rd quarter. Going into the 4th quarter, trailing 20-7, Bama had 6 true freshmen in the game on offense to bring them back against the dawgs. 6 true freshmen, that's over half the offensive personnel for you vol fans. Our kicker couldn't hit water if he fell off a boat. Tua goes out there and throws 14 for 24 for 166 yards and 3TDs.

And Alabama wins the national championship on a 44 yard throw-in OT on 2nd and 26 from a true freshman that professional receivers in the NFL say their QB still can't make.

That's the kind of second half that Tua Tagovailoa had.

Let’s be real. Pruitt is an upgrade over Butch. It’s just obvious at this point. Mullen is a great coach who some don’t give enough credit to for some reason. UT and UF, struggling powerhouses are going to get back on track. LSU will hire a big time coach soon. . Muschamp is way better his 2nd time around as a coach. And obviously Kirby is doing big things at UGA.

The decision wasnt as difficult as people want to make it out to be. If you leave Hurts in you lose.
Plenty of NFL qbs can make that throw, stop fooling yourself.

And yeah, like i said, he had a good half.

BTW, did anyone lose a little respect for Saban and Bama leaving Mehki Brown in the game after his antics last night. Punching a UGA player alone should have got him ejected but then he went after a Bama coach on the sideline but they put him back in next kickoff where he clotheslined the ball carrier. I always think of Saban's teams as disciplined but the fact they did not send him to the locker room makes me wonder if Saban is losing control.

Was thinking the same dang thing. With all the emphasis on targeting and defenseless receivers, how they missed a blatant clothesline was insane.
