Alabama has 1 Loss to a non Top 25 Ole Miss
LSU has 1 Loss to a top 3 Alabama

Bama is rewarded with a Top 3 Ranking and fans are optimistic, Lsu Drops to #9 yet fans are dump diving.

Why is our world coming to an end when we got beat by a TOP 3 Team with still lots of football left to play?

We were exceeding expectations before Bama and still have a chance to finish year in a Playoff and if not playoff we still are with a Top 6 Finish.

Again, All this in a year when we were supposed to be a "Young" Team and 1 year Away!

Its called passing the eyeball test.

Bama has a top notch staff that improves their team week in and week out. Any falsely in their team the media knows will be resolved.

Our team was completely outclassed. Our coach was completely outclassed.

Even the lady in my office who can't even name the head coach at Alabama knows this.

It's because we now need help to reach our goals. This season was about more than becoming Bowl eligible. It's about Division Championships, SEC championships and National Championships. We aren't A&M, MSU, Ole Miss, or Arkansas

.....because our fans tend to be emotional wussies

We have the toughest remaining schedule in college football, so WE STILL CONTROL our destiny. Perhaps the 'experts' will prove to be correct, but I seriously doubt it.

So amazing how a team not predicted by the experts to even be relevant within the West are in such a meltdown that we lost to the #4 team and we are still within the top 10.

I just don't agree. They will use this loss to Bama as a reason to keep us out. It's not fair, but they will

We got are arse kicked up and down field all night long. Our loss is worse than their loss. We completely failed the eyeball test.

Uhhhh...no we don't. We need Bama to lose one more. And even then, we might not get in cause we still have to play a hot Arkansas team, a pretty good Ole Miss team, and a fairly decent aTm team. We'll need to win these next three in convincing fashion, Bama to drop another one; and a Clemson, OSU, Baylor, and/or ND loss. Which I don't see either one of those teams dropping one.

So yeah, we are now a long shot at reaching the playoffs. Now, if we win out and Bama drops one and one or two of those aforementioned teams drops one, and we win the SEC, yeah, we'll be in. But like I said, that's a tall fricking order.

They humiliated us, beat us down, ruined our Heisman hopes, confirmed our worst fears, etc

Saturday night went about as badly as anyone could have imagined other than injuries.

Misery in everyday life is projected toward the loss. Some people just wallow in that shite and wonder why they come out smelling like an a-hole.

I'm sick of hearing the "young team" excuse!
This Bama team is not as good as usual.

I don't see how

they lost at home to a non ranked opponent

we lost away to a top 3 team

and just like our game, their game against Ole Miss wasn't as close as the scored made it

Why is there any one team we need to beat? Bama needed to beat us in the 2011 regular season game and they didn't. We all know what happened after that. If we win out, with the playoffs being 4 team competing for the championship, why can't we get a rematch/do over like Bama did when only 2 teams compete?

Because under Miles, we'll be a winning team, just not a Champion.
