Yep. I have 10-2. Winning every game your supposed to doesn't happen very often even for the very best of coaches. 11 or 12 wins is absolutely possible, but to say it's likely is stretch.

I question anyone that thinks we're going to have an easier time with Utah St over NW St.

Both teams will iron out some kinks before then. However, training a guy with little to no game experience to lead the most linebacker-dependent defense in the country in less than a season is a tall order IMO.


Bama replaces insanely good players every single year and almost always don't miss a beat. A 2 TD swing is absurd for one defensive player.

Before the Moses injury, I’d call you crazy.

Alabama having to replace the leader of their entire defense with possibly a freshman is a game changer, no matter how talented that replacement is. Could be a 10-14 point swing.


Thing is, we're going to have injuries too.

Agreed. There are a couple of positions that require more than talent. LB (especially at Bama) is one of them.

In most cases, absolutely.
I submit TM7 in 2011 as an example of one of those players.

Did Dylan Moses return punts?

It very much is a crazy prediction.


Not crazy, but not likely.

No, but it’s an impact position for different reasons. Moses was going to be the the quarterback of the Bama D.

Impact of replacing him with someone with no game experience will probably be some busted assignments by some D players. Busted assignments often mean TDs.

Come on even Bama rarely goes undefeated. It’s extremely difficult to achieve that.

I'll believe it when I see it. Saban has earned the benefit of the doubt.

The problem will be depth later in the year.

I'm not a very good searcher but it seems there were some much longer 'season prediction threads/topics'
