SEC Championship or GTFO!!!

If Kentucky wins out (and they will be favored to do so), and finishes 11-1, do they get a NY6 if we win out at 10-2? Can both of us get a NY6?

They'll be good from here on out as long as we win. If we drop one, the bashing will begin again!

I hear media comments now to the effect of 'one of the best lines in the nation'. Far cry for how we started the year, especially with such a young base. Green will undoubtedly be a first team all SEC selection.

Guessing they can't because contracts, but let us play Kentucky!

Kenyon? That you?

This team is now reminding me of the infamous 2012 team. After beating Bama, the team continued to get better and finished with an 11-2 record.

---

This team is NOTHING like the 2012 team with the exception of two losses to SEC teams.
2012
Heisman QB and first round WR1 (Evans) and very good WR2 (Swope) with decent RBs and above average defense
2021
Average QB and first round RB1 and future NFL RB2 with decent WRs and exceptional defense.
2012
Understandable losses to Florida and LSU that could of been won
2021
Head scratching losses to Arkansas (which is looking worse every week) and Miss State

Just my opinion……I could be wrong

Arkansas has nothing to lose & Auburn has a shot. They've looked beatable in a couple games now…not counting A&M game. Bryce Young sure is crafty. Gets them out of bad situations that you usually don't see Bama in this often. I wish I had a crystal ball. I'd like to see Bama's record if they would have lost Bryce in game #2!

Jimbo Fisher teams get better as the year goes on...his record after Halloween since he came here in 2018 is 12-3

I want to know the difference between what Jimbo and Sumlin did/were doing to produce the exact opposite trends as the season goes on into October and November.

The 2012 team would roast this years team...

I dont think N Mexico St beating Bama will do anything for us.

Most decent teams with JFF would roast any team ever.

"I predict our OL will be considered a solid asset by mid season."

Wish I could pick stocks this well.

Just so we are clear, winnng out after the Bama game in 2012 wasn't all that tough; we beat Sam Houston and Missouri.

Quality depth, running a pro-style offense in a spread era vs. running a spread-style offense in older style SEC play, having quality young players itching to go when injury hits, buiilding a culture that learns from hardship rather than crumbling, better talent and depth leads to an ability to hang with teams that use to out-athlete us, more focus on winning in the trenches leads to less-risky plays, and oh, did I mention quality depth?

The quality depth is really showing up on defense. Sure we have our starters, but we rotate so many guys in that we really play the top 1 1/2 - 2 of the depth chart as a normal part of the game and that is with 2 of the top CBs out for the year. So when the "backups" came in against SCar and gave up the two TDs, we were really talking about a lot of 3rd string guys and true freshmen.

Beat Auburn.

What I can't come to terms with yet is how Leach smoked out defense. It wasn't even a contest. They straight up gashed us.

I'll never understand that bad defensive performance. That game was an anomaly, but they didn't do well against Srknsas either

I didn't see the game but it sounded like it was just a bad game plan/strategy by Elko where they applied zero pressure on the QB.

the difference is coaching.



That and practicing tackling and dominating the lines. Sumlin was more inclined to dominate the outside but unless you have speed vs slow guys then you can't keep up when the othe team dominates the lines

My guess is:

1) Looking ahead to Bama,Elko overlooked some of the Clanga game prep, because

2) rush 3 drop 8 seemed to have worked for everyone since the second game of 2020, so we planned to be in that all night long despite it not really being one of our base sets, and

3) their QB was playing lights out that game, so everytime we tried to switch up the defense, we just got gashed.

Your item 2 is what I was thinking.
