Is getting his first start with the Jags on Sunday versus the Vikings. Good Luck Mac!! RTR

I’m still pumped up about beating LSU in Death Valley at night, in the rain. I think it’s just the way we did it. Completely dominating them and emptying their stadium of most of their fans by the forth quarter. Daniel Moore has a painting opportunity on this game.

Michigan State RB commit Jace Clarizio coming in soon:

Didn't have a full article for this game just with the quick turnaround from football, but here's the TV and game info for night's matchup aginst McNeese.

How to watch

Who: No. 2 Alabama vs. McNeese

When: 6 p.m. CT, Monday, Nov. 11

Where: Coleman Coliseum, Tuscaloosa, Alabama

Watch: SEC Network (play-by-play: Kevin Fitzgerald, Analyst: Daymeon Fishback)

Listen: Crimson Tide Sports Network | SIRIUS/XM 134/201 (play-by-play: Chris Stewart, analyst: Bryan Passink, engineer: Tom Stipe)

Story from last week on how Nate Oats is approaching playing teams like McNeese and Arkansas State. Felt relevant to include given how well Arkansas State challenged Alabama on Friday. Expecting a similar level of play from a well-coached McNeese team led by Will Wade. The Cowboys are picked to win the Southland Conference for a second straight season.

Four-star CB Dorian Barney has decomitted from Alabama. Barney pledged back in May but is re-opening his recruitment.

Barney has taken a few trips this fall, including Tuscaloosa for the South Florida and Georiga games. It's still early in the 2026 cycle and I expect Alabama to continue to be a player moving forward.

The Tide is back down to one commit in 2026, four-star DL Vodney Cleveland.

How many ways do you have to say it. Is it the prefer grammar?
We just saw in the last two games where we wore out a defense and made them quit in the forth Quarter. How much does it take to prove a running game is what it takes,

He said Milroe could help the team by having assist with no turnovers.
That’s what some of us have been saying. We run a lot of RPO’s. If he keeps the ball on 95% of all RPO’s then we are to predictable. Spread the running game to the RBs until LSU’s defense breaks down. Stay ahead of the chains and don’t get senseless penalties. Milroe has all the ability to win a game, but to do it every week makes us a one dimensional offense.

for keeping his offensive starters in after Bama had emptied the bench. I do not understand why especially after pulling his defense off on Bama's last procession and touchdown. Anyway, WHAT AN ASS WHIPPING! RTR

The last 4 times has been against the crimson tide. Brian Kelly left a cream puff Schedule at ND because he wanted to compete in the SEC? Since he would probably be ranked in the top ten if he was still at ND. I wonder if he is thinking he should have stayed at ND? ND has and has always had preferences in the polls.

I think the best way I can tease this story is this full quote from Jihaad Campbell:

“We were going into the game with violent intentions. That was the whole mindset. We didn’t care about their stadium and their fans and how they bring the crowd into the game. We didn’t really care about that. We cared about us playing as a whole unit. Going out there and smashing people in the face.”

Well here are the SEC rules

In the event of a tie between teams competing for a place in the Conference championship game, the following procedures will be used in descending order until the tie is broken:

1. Head-to-head competition among the tied teams
2. Record versus all common Conference opponents among the tied teams
3. Record against highest (best) placed common Conference opponent in the Conference standings, and proceeding through the Conference standings among the tied teams
4. Cumulative Conference winning percentage of all Conference opponents among the tied teams
5. Capped relative total scoring margin versus all Conference opponents among the tied teams
6. Random draw of the tied teams

If the regular season standings determine a clear Conference champion and two or more teams are tied for second place, the Conference champion will be the home team in the Championship Game and the tiebreaking procedures will be used to determine its opponent.

So say UGA, Alabama, Tennessee, Texas AM, Ole Miss, LSU all end with two losses (most likely result) with Texas in as only one loss team.

On #1
UGA 1-1
Tennessee 1-1
Alabama 2-1
LSU 1-1
TAMU 1-1
Ole Miss 1-1

** Does this mean Bama wins on #1 as best record in group or only COMMON across ALL the teams count as they had three games? Bet committee didnt think of this and expect an outcry but this SHOULD be the case as otherwise TAMU gets a huge break with its crap schedule (no UGA, Tenn, Ole Miss, Alabama). Ole Miss not much harder with toughest game UGA at home. If not then...

On #2
There are no common opponents across ALL teams in #1

On #3
UGA best win Texas. They win this tie-breaker

So, comes down to this...does Bama win on #1 because otherwise, UGA gets it. Honestly, rather NOT play in conference championship as not much to gain winning and losing could kick you out of playoffs. Better being #3

Moving on up!
ROLL TIDE ROLL!

Ahead of this week's initial College Football Playoff rankings, I took a look into my crystal ball to project how I think this year's 12-team field will play out.

— Four SEC teams
— A surprise upset by Texas A&M
— A cross-country trip for Alabama

Was blessed to be attending family wedding. Looking for replay
