Sam was the only member of the panel to pick all six of the weeks games correctly. Some of us apparently underestimated Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss because they clearly were the better team that day. Alabama thoroughly dominated LSU in a game that we all thought would have been close. Brandon and Christopher made the mistake of pic...

In recent Alabama elections observers could predict how Alabamians vote simply by eyeballing them with better than 80% accuracy. 82 to 84% of White voters voted for the Republican candidate and 90 to 94% of Black voters voted for the Democratic candidate.

The Alabama Gazette Panel was shocked to see Oklahoma's overwhelming victory over the University of Alabama. Alabama was tasked with beating LSU, Oklahoma, and then Auburn and then they would be in the twelve team playoff.

They need to somehow beat Auburn in the Iron Bowl and hope for there to be chaos ahead of them as they need help to make the...
