10 would be tough, don't see 9 either, Saban(I'll always be a Tiger) is having a good recruiting class, but next year, the home schedule is tougher, so I think it'll be more than 2 years before he gets into double digits in wins.
These are my legitimate best and worst case scenarios for Bama Best Case 8-4 Western Carolina - Win Vanderbilt - Win Arkansas - Win Georgia - Loss Florida State - Win Houston - Win Ole Miss - Win Tennessee - Loss LSU - Loss Miss. State - Win Monroe - Win Auburn - Loss Worst Case 6-6 Western Carolina - Win Vanderbilt - Win Arkansas - Loss Georgia - Loss Florida State - Loss Houston - Win Ole Miss - Win Tennessee - Loss LSU - Loss Miss. State - Win Monroe - Win Auburn - Loss Either way, another loss to Auburn and a home loss to LSU are going to be a lot for Bama fans to stomach this year.
Let's review bama's season last year.... 1. They lost their last four games. 2. Only SEC wins were agains Ole Miss and Vandy. 3. They did play ark very tough. Granted, every year is different and NS will have a positive effect. But I can't see any reason to think they will have more than 8 wins. Another 6-7 win season is more likely.
The three highlighted and italicized games are a very tough stretch...and the shaded bookends aren't a given, considering the 3 in the middle...don't wanna look past Vandy, might be beat up after FSU.
Wow...I thread just for me... I feel special :hihi: Here is how I think it will end up. Now, I think that we'll get 8 wins...Nine would be great though and I think that is possible. Western Carolina - Win Vanderbilt - Win Arkansas - Win Georgia - Win Florida State - LOSS Houston - Win Ole Miss - Win Tennessee - LOSS LSU - LOSS (will be down to the wire like the last time you were in Ttown) Miss. State - Win Monroe - Win Auburn - Win (we're due lol) That's my hopes...I think that we will take one of the big 3 (UT, LSU, AU) but 2 is possible. Given the circumstances, I think that we may be able to outscore LSU at home in the national spotlight. I know, nobody on here even thinks that is possible but any given Saturday right? :thumb:
FWIW, Ark. should have been a win, but wasn't, due to missed x-points (2) and FG's. We'll win that one. 9. That's the number. With luck, double digits.
