Now that our starting QB went out on the 2nd possession against Colorado in a defensive win 10-7, we are not really top 25 anymore let alone top 5. This does not look promising for any return to action for Haynes King. Part of the reason he won the job was his 4.5 40 speed.

As usual there are 6 BIG TEN in the top 25  I wonder how many will finish in the top 10 ?   2, 1, 0 ?  

And who ?

I think OSU and Iowa have the best shot at staying in the top 10 by regular season end. Who knows after bowl season since so many players chose not to play for fear of screwing themselves with an injury before the draft.

SEC the 3 best shots at top 10 regular season are Bama, Ga. and Florida.

And keep a watch on much improved Arkansas after that absolute beatdown on then #15 texas. That was no accident. They looked like a power SEC team in their lines both sides of the ball. They will kill A&M in two weeks since we now know our QB had surgery on a broken tibia down near the ankle. He's likely out for the season. Very disappointing since I thought we might be better than last year with a 4.5 speed QB with a decent arm running the show. 2nd stringer not that great and his back is a walk-on non-schollie freshmen. Yikes!😱

[TexasAg1969]

Well it was not as bad as I had expected with the 2nd stringer at QB. Lost 20-10 and the QB survived the learning experience. Just wanted him to get through it healthy so we don't start a walk-on player.

[TexasAg1969]

So does Bama still make it to the playoffs and win it all again like they did the year JFF beat them in Tuscaloosa? 

Well maybe Georgia just might get in the way too. 😂

Wow, almost everyone thought that Alabama was going to steamroll right into another NC.

We'll see what happens next.

It's beginning to look like a Georgia year, but many a team has become a deer in the headlights when facing Bama. A&M just decided they would go down with a 7mm mag in their hooves and go after the hunter. That crazy damn Fisher started it this summer by saying he planned on beating Saban before he retires. He had his team prepared for laying down for nobody. I mean who beats Bama with only one returning OL, two true freshmen at C and RT, a second string QB and a suspended LT? But Georgia might freeze like just about everyone else.
