Hating on the $EC - Mostly Alabama (and a little Georgia too)

[THE_WIZARD_]

Made the trip from LAX-Sydney once. Was in D.C. right before so flew Reagan to Denver to LAX then the Sydney leg. Brutal. 14 hours just LAX to Sydney plus the 5 hours combined D.C. to LAX. Flew back to SFO on return. Being on a commercial plane that long is grounds for putting a bullet in ones head.

I'm sure you were hoping lol.

I'll chip in the first $10 for a ticket to Sydney for Wiz.

FPI's chance of winning each game:

Alabama's chances to win each game
09.03 vs. USC (Arlington, Texas): 64.3%
09.10 vs. Western Kentucky: 94.1%
09.17 @ Ole Miss: 51.2%
09.24 vs. Kent State: 98.8%
10.01 vs. Kentucky: 93.8%
10.08 @ Arkansas: 71.2%
10.15 @ Tennessee: 41.1%
10.22 vs. Texas A&M: 72.5%
11.05 @ LSU: 34.3%
11.12 vs. Mississippi State: 84.7%
11.19 vs. Chattanooga: 99.0%
11.26 vs. Auburn: 77.7%

So, they say Tennessee and LSU probably win. Sounds about right.

Tennessee actually favored?

[AlabamAlum]

FPI overall predicts 9 wins for Bama, and a 12.3% chance to win the SEC.

Tennessee actually favored?

Tenn and LSU.

[AlabamAlum]

I'm not sure how FPI came up with a prediction of 9 wins (8.9 actually). I guess they predict that we lose one we shouldn't... which, come to think of it, is pretty sccurate.

[AlabamAlum]

And about a month ago I was extolling Tenn's upside. I think they are a legit team in the making.

[Hannibal]

I think that you guys will beat USC easily. Coaching issues there IMHO.

Tennessee is improving under Butch Jones, but their kryptonite is still Florida and Alabama.

Their kryptonite is one of Carr's cronies.

[AlabamAlum]

Their kryptonite the last couple of years was a very young team and a lack of depth. I think that's addressed now.
