Bama pretty much has to be a lock. As Josh Pate put it, Bama is the #1 seed in the SEC. If the CFP excludes the SEC #1 seed based on the outcomes of a conference championship game, the SEC would go nuclear. Add to that- it would be the second year in a row leaving pre-eminent SEC darling Bama out (after much moaning by the SEC last year). The SEC would go thermonuclear.

Good ballplayer. Not a great tackler,however.

DeBoer and family don’t seem happy in Alabama, I wouldn’t be surprised if he left

As he should be. I’m more just wishcasting.

You lost me at James Franklin 😭😭😭

Wonder if we’d snag that LB I believe from Connecticut. They’ve had a couple players enter the portal. Believe a safety and a WR

Well, we're more than likely not in the playoffs. All hands on deck looking at the portal talent. All in for '26

I would imagine that is one of Missouri's cant lose players.

Mostly worked out of the slot this season. Based off of the name alone, sign me up! lol

James Franklin doing some recruiting work out of the gate, as expected. He will have VaTech competing in the ACC by year two. Dude will get talent to Blacksburg

Need to recruit Ahmad Hardy into the portal

You beat me to it 😂

Like you said, Saban made the Bama fanbase spoiled with impossible expectations. If you're not winning multiple championships, they'll call for blood. Those fans won't even be happy just to competitive for the post season.

Regarding the potential of an Alabama loss in the SECCG, the committee has consistently stated that teams will not be penalized from losing a CCG (as they shouldn't).

480 snaps this season, 50 of which came in the slot. Allowed 31-50 completions this year (62%). 3 PBU, 1 INT.

Saw just 7 snaps after week five of the season. Six appearances on the season. Was a redshirt junior per Tennessee. 6-foot-3-inches and 315 pounds.

Heard there’s a guy in Baton Rouge who’d be interested

But with College BB the tournament is large enough that you can give out consolation prizes. In BB a Cinderella story is much more likely because the squads are smaller and there is less potential for injury.

Tracking Portal Entrants Across the Country *** Starting an ongoing thread for portal entrants this December and January. There will be a separate thread for Texas entrants, but this should provide an idea of which talent elsewhere is going to be on the move this offseason.

Daboer is the only name I've heard for Penn State that is an upgrade over James Franklin.

Completely agree. People can say "hey, you should not have lost to Florida. They are not any good." 100% true. The point is: had we scheduled someone...not of Ohio State's caliber, we would be sitting at 10-2 and an absolute no-brainer for the playoffs with 2 top 5 wins and 3 top 9 wins (at the time we played them). We do not really gain anything by playing them. Let us also say we beat OSU, but things are still the same (still have losses to Florida and Georgia [I hope we beat them someday])....what have we really gained? Nothing. We are still 10-2 and still in the playoffs. JUST like we would be if we had either: not scheduled Ohio State or beaten Florida. It is tough enough as it is. I see no reason to make it tougher on ourselves. And let me add: I have ALWAYS respected (and loved) our willingness to play an elite non-conference game at the beginning of the season. So, while sure people can say: "well, just win that tough non-conference game", and its true...it is also a needless risk we do not HAVE to take to make the playoffs. Hook 'Em!

Yeah, I ignored that knucklehead so I don't even see his posts.
