Problem is, one of those teams can beat Alabama, but it's going to take two of them to keep Alabama out of the playoffs.

Georgia, both this year and in 2019

Alabama is basically guaranteed to not lose in the regular season until 2020

nowadays they always have a crap opponent or a bye week before every tough matchup

Dont count your chickens before they hatch:boink:

See you in the title game :thumb:
lol! Told ya I was slow! I hope we make it. I haven't been overly impressed with what I have seen so far from my team, but it's early in the season. Hopefully we can get our shit together and meet y'all there. This is gradually becoming a fun rivalry. (That is, if we make it this year)

I cant say the same. I am loving what I see of Bama this year. The defense could be a bit better, but with an offense like we have, its gonna be hard to outscore us in any game.

Who is that we play in 2020 that changes this?

USC? Texas? Notre Dame? Those are the teams we play that decade.

Well, for that matter - which team is it that Alabama should play that would change it?

Auburn if they find their run game and utilize Stidham more frequently in it. He is also the only QB capable of getting on a roll vs Bama on the schedule

Georgia State rises to power in 2020 and crushes you

I just think outside adding playoff teams, it's pretty much gonna be the same.

We have Duke OOC next year, and it's a shitty game. But yet, Texas or USC in replace of them isn't really better at this point. Yet, nobody would complain at all about it. In their current state, they are just namebrand cupcakes.

Clemson, Oklahoma, Ohio St are really the only teams Alabama could schedule that would change things. I guess you can add Georgia in that list, but that's SEC scheduling.

In the end, Alabama is a playoff quality team and that's just the reality. The biggest challenges are always going to come in conference before then outside a few possible OOC opponents.

I thought A&M looked great against Clemson: Mond looked dynamic, they played generally good. I don't think anybody can beat Bama with Tua slinging the ball, but why not A&M? Don't see anybody at the present time that has a better chance?

If only you played Duke this year and Louisville next year, because Duke is at least ok with a group of good seniors...all those seniors are gone next year so it's going to be a thrashing.

Lately what has made it easier is Alabama has had easier opponents prior to facing a tough one on the road, even though the SEC is strong again this year it's not close to what it was back in 2010-2012. I think 2010 was the year Alabama played several teams coming off bye weeks then South Carolina finally got them, that is never going to happen again.

I hope it never happens again, that was pretty much bullshit. Even though Alabama plays only 8 game schedules, 50% of the SEC had their bye games the week before we played them. And that was not counting FCS teams.

Duke this year and such wouldn't make much difference. It would look better on the resume, but outside a few teams - they aren't winning.
