re: How many games do the Tigers lose this year ?

I believe Alabama will be good but beatable this next season. They are losing 9 starters on defense, so they will be reloading. From what I hear, they have defensive talent to build upon, but unproven. They have basically the same offense coming back, but they can be stopped. Everyone will be shooting at them. It will come down to mental preparation by Saban and coaches.

Arkansas is dark horse to watch out for in the west. If they get some kind of defense (which they were short on last year), the west will be wild again. I see a good year for LSU. We will be in the hunt for the west and SEC titles. We may lose 1 game along the way.
