But if a team goes 3 and out on every series, the D wears thin at some time and will lose more than 2 games...8-4 best for Bama

I'd like for smeone to point out which games will be bama's losses. I'm thinking anywhere from a 10-2 to 12-0 regular season, with 11-1 likely.

only tuff games is LSU...unless they know what we got by then and we already have 1-2 losses. then that will probably be a winnable game too

I say if LSU and bama go into that contest undefeated, LSU wins. If LSU has already lossed to either Oregon/WV/or Miss State, and Bama is undefeated, Bama wins

I agree,LSU will be our toughest game,even at home. They're solid if not spectacular. While I think our Defense will play solid against them,they have the edge at QB position,experience. Will be the game of the year!

Bama should not lose more than 2 games. I think they lose at least one though, I don't see an SEC team going undefeated this year, the west is too stacked. I think there will be a 1 loss West team that gets to the BCSNC. Arky and LSU are two games Bama could lose. Also MSU sets up a possible trap game for Bama with it being in Starkville.
My prediction: Bama goes 11-1 with an early loss to Arkansas. Bama's power running, game managing offense won't be able to keep up with Arky's high powered offense.

Are you kidding me? Greg McElroy was terrible. Tee Martin was turnover prone and mediocre at best. Flynn wasn't that great either. And how good two of those teams will be remains to be seen. LSU struggled because their QB situation was historically bad, even much worse than it is now. I can't speak for Tennessee's behalf but I can't imagine the departure of Tee freaking Martin caused them to lose four games. Hell, they lost three games the year before despite having the 11th ranked total defense and 7th ranked scoring defense in the country.

I can't predict the LSU game because it's a tossup. I'll say Bama is 10-1 outside of that game with a random upset somewhere

Akanss could only score 21 on a bama team last year, at HOME, that featured 9 new starters, but they're going to score more, at Bryant Denny, with a new quarterback, against what will probably be the best defense in the SEC? Strange line of thought, to say the least.

GM was NOT terrible.I bet you weren't screaming that while he was killing the gators,and managing the title game with bad ribs, and breaking passing records.If he was terrible,what were Brodie,JPW,Tyler,and so on?

Being slightly less terrible than the QBs before him doesn't mean McElroy was a good QB. It just means he was slightly less of a frick-up than the predecessors that came before him.

That was also before Arkansas established a good running game, I think they will be better on Offense this year, personally I think Wilson will be better than Mallett, he has just as good an arm plus more mobility.
I think Bama beats LSU because of their defense, as long as JJ is qb then I don't see LSU scoring muck on that D. So if I had to pick a loss for Bama, I would say Arkansas

Ive never understood bench mcelroy's position. my guess is he followed teams like fsu, miami and florida in their heyday and thought you needed a gunslinger to win titles. No, McElroy was not a great QB (though he played a great game against Florida to be sure, and his broken rib performance against Texas was gutsy, to say the least). But the others you mentioned were not great either. Brodie never reached his potential, JPW was good, but not great, his senior year, and Tyler watts was Tebow without all the ability and good arm strength. Bama's hd some good but not great quarterbacks the last three decades. The last quarterback that we had who could probably be called great was Richard Todd.

Well what exactly is 'few' teams? In 2007, nine teams scored 14 points or more on Bama, in 2008 & '09 seven teams did it. In 2010 4 teams did it. These stats are not overpowering, and 'Bama isnt putting the best defense on the field EVER this year are they?

In 2005 and 2006, six teams scored 14 or more on LSU's defense. IS one game really that much better?

Which, statistically, ties for the best LSU has done in the last two decades (in 2003 4 teams scored 14 or more on LSU)

Yet they're right there with LSU's best efforts.

Yes, this might be the best unit we've had under Saban.
By the way, in 2005, Alabama allowed only 4 teams to score 14 or more, and gave up an average of 10.6 points per game and allowed 4 teams to score 14 or more. In 2003, LSU gave up an average of 11.8 per game allowing 4 teams to score 14 or more. does this mean 2005 Alabama defense is better than 2003 LSU defense?
