The game has changed. Expect 3 or 4 losses for Bama next year

THIS!

That Bama team will be depleted and it will be a shell of the 2023 year.

I expect them to struggle heavy and just might lose to Wisconsin @ Wisconsin early in the year. Then after a bye they have to play UGA at home. That's 100% a loss. Then three weeks later they play Tennessee on the road. I expect payback with a much better Tennessee squad, that's 2 losses. Right after that Mizzu comes to Bama. That's a toss up right now IMO. The bye week and then they come to a revamped LSU team. I see LSU beating the brakes off of Bama if we are fully healthy and we get the DL we need. That's 3 losses. Then they play a cupcake and then have to go to Oklahoma and then back home vs an improved Auburn team that is about to bring in 2 of the top 3 best WRs from the 2024 class along with a speed shifty WR. Freeze has decided to take over play calling too.


They have 7 games they could easily lose with a depleted roster, and no Saban. Even if you split that in half, a 9-3/8-4 season is 100% in their future in 2024. Bama will most likely NOT make the first 12 team playoffs.
