I think the dude must have a crystal ball. I know we discussed at length before the season that he really liked Bama this year. I think he went so far as to call us the 2006 Arkansas team of 2007 and a darkhorse NC contender. I know it's still way to early to call him accurate, but he hasn't been proven wrong yet either.

Another interesting fact was he claimed Auburn would fall flat this year and boy if he didn't nail that. I remember the Aubs saying the guy must be on crack when he came out with that prediction . Well, looks like he was right about that as well and he's saying they lose 5 more SEC games, including Bama. I'll take it.
 
He predicts Alabama going 7 and 1 in the SEC... that translates into an 11-1 season and the Cotton Bowl. I like the sound of that. Doesn't mean I think it'll happen, but it sounds awesome.
I think an 11-1 Alabama team with only a loss to LSU who should be playing for the national title has to put us close to an outside shot at an at-large BCS bid because to play the NC i think LSU will have to beat UF twice and a 2 loss UF team won't get a BCS shot about a 1 loss Alabama I don't think.

I don't know that he predicted the auburn loss to State. The disclaimer at the tops says the predictions will change throughout the year so it may be taht he updates them evry now and then and just predicts the remaining games.

Agreed, but that's his prediction... course he's also predicted Michigan and Texas at the Rose Bowl.

it is so important to beat ga saturday. it would lead into a monumental matchup at home with LSU. i believe LSU will beat the tide, but, even so it sets up a mighty good season. yes, we still have tenn, auburn, msu, but they are winnable games. this ga game is so big. it will be up to the offense to keep the defense off the field in the second half.
