Not looking good...

Positive note:

This is our wake up call, but this time coming a bit earlier and not costing us a loss in the SEC East. We turn some things around from here and play at that Championship Caliber. SEC title bound, loss is early and does not hurt us as bad. We'll be back in the mix. CFB is too tough for BCS conference teams to have a flawless season.

The Tide is for real and have a great chance to run through the rest of their schedule setting up a rematch in the Dome for the SEC Championship. This won;t happen twice!

Opportunities:

Biggest is penalties! I've seen some posts hammering Martinez, but when penalties cost you and pin you back or give the opposing offense first and goal scenarios it's almost a guarantees TD. Curran can't knock em loose for Double A to recover everytime. We take care of some of these mental mistakes and other things fall into place. We gave AL 21 points in the first half through mental mistakes or TO's. This comes down to discipline which falls on all coaches shoulders.

All of those fall on discipline. Which falls on the coach. Which is why everyone is slaming WM. We should have gotten Will Muschamp.

DawgnLA, a loss in the west counts the same as a loss in the east once the final tally is done. The only way it would help is in a tiebreaker situation. Example (I think), team X has 2 east losses and team Y has 1 east loss and 1 west. They tie for the east but Y wins because of a tiebreaker.
