Latest news and updates about the Alabama
The penultimate set of College Football Playoff rankings were released and the committee decided to move Notre Dame down to #10 and Alabama up to #9. If you’ve been paying attention to me over the past few weeks — this is pretty much what I expected from the committee. They want Bama in the playoff […]
Over the last 24 hours, there was a decent bit of chatter surrounding betting odds that Alabama’s odds of making the playoffs jumped significantly. Plus, BetMGM apparently locked betting on the Tide. Was there a leak in the playoff committee’s rankings? Quite possibly. In any case, the Tide has now moved up to #9, swapping […]
It was rivalry week for most of the country – with a few exceptions playing cupcakes that they are trying to pass off as Power conference opponents. There was plenty of excitement, but the real fireworks came on Black Sunday. Alabama 27 Auburn 20 – It was another scary visit to Jerdin’s Hair for the […]
Greetings, BBN! Texas upset Texas A&M, Georgia edged Georgia Tech, Ole Miss retained the Egg Bowl (but not its coach) against Hail State, Oklahoma held off LSU, Alabama triumphed in the Iron Bowl, Vanderbilt throttled Tennessee, Kentucky got blanked at Louisville, South Carolina fell short against Clemson, Missouri rolled Arkansas, and Florida chomped up Florida […]
Happy Monday, everyone. Alabama will face Georgia in Atlanta for the SEC Championship, the only way for the Tide to truly guarantee itself a playoff spot. This, despite already beating Georgia in Athens this season to grab the top seed in the nation’s toughest league. If there was no game this week, Alabama would be […]
It’s officially time to hate Lane Kiffin again. Alabama fans have come to love Lane Kiffin over the past several years. After participating in the Nick Saban Coaching Rehabilitation Program as an analyst, Kiffin was hired as Alabama’s offensive coordinator headed into the 2014 season. He had quite the run of success, first coaxing a […]
Style points don’t really matter anymore in this modern era and for that, Alabama should be thankful. It’s never easy for the Tide to win on the pasture, and things get particularly chippy when those critters have nothing to lose and an opportunity to ruin Alabama’s season. Auburn’s season is now over, so they can […]
Alabama started strong and hung on late, knocking off Auburn 27-20 at Jordan-Hare stadium. Out of the gate, the game looked about like most expected it to. Both offenses had a rough time to get anything going. Alabama’s defense was particularly dominant in holding the Auburn offense to a mere 26 yards on its first […]
Cole wrote your weekend rooting guide yesterday, which, fine, if you want to root for Alabama, go for it I guess. Cole also did not include all the important stuff, like MACtion, FCS, Division II, Division III, and NAIA playoff games in the open thread, so here’s the full viewing guide for Saturday that includes […]
Only a few short weeks ago, Auburn was the laughingstock of the SEC for scoring all of 3 points against Kentucky. That, plus the 5 SEC games before it, saw the Tigers average an utterly dreadful 15 points per game that wound up with head coach Hugh Freeze getting the can pretty much as soon […]
Last weekend was one devoid of many upsets, so there wasn’t much change, and Alabama held serve at #10. In fact, the only thing that did change was Ole Miss and Oregon swapping spots. 1. Ohio State2. Indiana3. Texas A&M4. Georgia5. Texas Tech6. Oregon7. Ole Miss8. Oklahoma9. Notre Dame10. Alabama11. BYU12. Miami Now maybe the […]
As usual, we got our round up of interviews from the Alabama coaching staff at the start of the game week. Ryan Grubb “There’s a lot of factors that go into it. I did it a few times at Fresno. Some of it has to do with comfort level with two parts. Number one, the […]
With only one week left in the regular season, we all know where the teams stand. Texas A&M is undefeated and in sole possession of first place, while Alabama, Georgia, and Ole Miss are all tied up with one conference loss each. Georgia plays out-of-conference Georgia Tech this week, so that game doesn’t matter in […]
It wasn’t the prettiest of first halves for the Tide, but they made it to halftime with a 28-0 lead. The Alabama defense was nearly perfect, absolutely stymieing the overmatched Panthers for -1 total rushing yards and 13 passing yards, plus the special teams got a punt block. The Alabama offense was given a couple […]
The race for the college football playoffs is in full heat. The current 12 teams in ranked order are, Ohio State, Indiana, Texas A&M, Georgia, Texas Tech, Ole Miss, Oregon, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, Alabama, Miami, and Tulane. There are still a half-dozen teams very much in the mix. These are the names/games TST will be […]
For whatever reason, much of the SEC has always loved using this penultimate week of the season for a final warm-up game. Alabama is playing Eastern Illinois, Auburn is playing Mercer, and Georgia is playing Furman. The Tide kicks off at 1:00 CT, and there’s at least a couple of games, like Mizzou-Okie to keep […]
Happy Friday, everyone. There isn’t much point in previewing the mismatch that will take place tomorrow afternoon. There are many good reasons for these games to be played, but they’re still somewhat cringey to watch. In any case, your time and TV info is linked here: Alabama football’s last game at Bryant-Denny Stadium in the 2025 […]
As Miami fans focus on the path to the ACC title game and comparisons on the national stage – specifically why the Canes belong ahead of Notre Dame, Alabama, and others as the playoff rankings have already incited drama – the real focus should be on winning convincingly at Virginia Tech and at Pitt. This […]
Alabama hosted 2nd-ranked Purdue in a massive early season matchup tonight and the game lived up to its billing, but in the end Purdue got it done by a score of 87-80. The contrasting styles were evident from the opening tip. As much as we expected to see Purdue dominate the glass, the reality was […]
After a year of trusting another defensive coordinator, head coach Brent Venables is back to acting as the DC this year. And, well, they’re giving up all of 14 points per game – one of the best in the entire country. The’ve absolutely stymied most of their schedule, but Michigan, Auburn, and South Carolina haven’t […]
Week 11 saw many of the top teams in the College Football Playoff rankings get wins. Ohio State, Texas A&M, Alabama, and Georgia all won fairly easily against conference opponents. Indiana and Oregon needed late-game heroics in order to win, but got it done when it mattered. The big matchup of the weekend came courtesy […]
There are three undefeated teams remaining in college football heading into Week 12 — Ohio State, Indiana, and Texas A&M. Then there are nine one-loss teams. Seven one-loss teams — Alabama, Georgia, Texas Tech, Ole Miss, Oregon, BYU, and Georgia Tech warranted rankings by the College Football Playoff committee in Tuesday night’s rankings reveal. The […]
Without much elaboration, Oklahoma’s offense was an abject disaster a year ago. The offensive coordinator was fired mid-season, and the starting QB, Jackson Arnold, transferred to Auburn only to get benched there, of all places. They were 97th in the league in scoring, only breaking 20 points against P4 opponents 4 times (and one of […]
Greetings, BBN! Texas A&M beat Mizzou, Alabama won at LSU, Georgia rolled past Mississippi State, Ole Miss won a gimme-game in an FCS non-con cupcake party with The Citadel, Vanderbilt survived a major scare from Auburn in overtime, and Kentucky chomped Florida for their second SEC win in a row after losing five in a […]
First up, we have our weekly press conferences from the Alabama coaching staff. Ryan Grubb This was one of Grubb’s more open pressers in a while, and he had quite a few soundbites. He was, of course, asked multiple times about the run game in various forms of questions. I thought it was pretty funny […]
