I feel like this is the end of the giant slog.
Alabama had this incredible four-game, like, oh my God, how do you get through this of Georgia, Vanderbilt, at Missouri, Tennessee.
If they go 4-0 in that stretch, I feel really good about them the rest of the way, even if they drop another game, I feel really good about them.
We had to do the, uh, we do our midseason, like, you know, picks for each league champion and the national champion.
I picked Alabama to win the SEC and to win the national championship.
Um, my midseason title winner.
If they win this, Ross coming out, I mean, I don't know exactly how these probabilities are formulated for like percentage chance to win the SEC.
They would have to be the highest if they win this weekend, like.
With that backstretch, depending on what Ole Miss does, of course, but yeah, I mean, you, you know, cause it just cause they're undefeated, but do we determine what happened week one?
How, how, how did this happen?
Well, Jim Miller didn't play.
Well, that's true.
Yeah, there you go.
Yeah.
Also, that, you know, you you didn't, you had no film on what Florida State was going to be with two new coordinators.
Yeah, there's a lot of, a lot of things you can say.
But Alabama can overcome that.
We're, we're in an era where you get, you get two Mulligans if you play in a good conference, and they do.
We do this every year, every year, I feel like we got to remind people.
By the way, every year there's a marquee game in week one that we think is going to be dramatically impactful in the rest of the year.
Guess what?
That was LSU cleansing, not so much.
Like it happens every we we talk ourselves into this every freaking year, and it's because we have a 10 month off season.
