My money is on Bama - the only ones keeping them from doing it all again is them. They have the talent and the coaching to get it done.

I doubt after last year that Johnny Football torches them again.

You are right. And you know Saban will have them ready to play at Texas A/M this year.

Georgia, they came close last season and they have a ton of talent coming back.

Don't think anyone in the SEC can stop them this year. But the 49ers would have a good shot in the championship game.

The only thing that could stop Alabama is if Saban dies or the NCAA ever catches them. Neither are happening any time soon. They've got at least 5 more years of dominating the SEC. No one is even close to the level of depth that Saban has built up.

Not true.....Georgia Florida LSU and soon to be A&M is all equal in talent and depth at Alabama.

I think Bama goes 10-2ish. A&M and one bigger upset (Auburn or Ole Miss) will get them.

alabama's roster is loaded again---they may be better than last year---they may lose 1 game max

A&M is a revenge game and the garden gnome is pretty good in those. LSU will have the players to match up. UF or UGA will as well if they meet in Atlanta. I would like for this to be Butch's signature win but even my hope has it's limitations.

Georgia State.........kidding! Awbarn..........kidding even more!! Seriously, I don't think they make it through the regular season unscathed with the target that they now have on their backs. But I've been wrong before. Wouldn't surprise me if they lost to A&M early. Everybody's geeked to play them and there are several teams capable. I'd like to say we could in the SECCG (if we get there) but I think we had our best shot last season and blew it. You don't get many of those! :cray:

Look I am not being a homer when I say this, but let me make a few arguments here.

1. Bama will win the SEC again this year (pretty easy)
2. non of the current teams that are good, will dethrone Bama. (not Johnny football, not LSU)


You have to have programs that can rise up and beat them, that have in the past. To me there are only two choices. Florida is the closest option in my mind. However TN will be capable. TN is second all time in SEC titles and winning percentage in the SEC. They are the only program historically that has been able to dethrone Bama. In fact no team has ever beat Bama close to as many as TN did 7 years in a row. TN is capable of getting that back. This again is not a homer opinion, it is a fact. The great teams always rise up. Remember LSU is really not that great historically, even 15 years ago they were crap. Look at TN all time record against them.

Let me be clear, I am not talking about next year or even the next, I mean rising up and dethroning in a few years.

I hate Bama with a passion and have hated them since birth...with that said, I don't think anyone beats them this year. They'll be out for blood against A&M and LSU has a boneheaded coach, enough said. JMO FWIW
