The Kalen DeBoerbandwagon has emptied out. It's been left to rust, and if you're left holding stock in DeBoer, it's trading at a 52-week low. Alabamahas 60-plus million reasons (aka DeBoer's buyout) to stay the course with its beleaguered coach, but there's no denying this much: There's trouble in Tuscaloosa. DeBoer is swimming upstream against a strong current afterAlabama got whipped by Florida Statein the season opener. On this edition of "SEC Football Unfiltered," a podcast from the USA TODAY Network, hostsBlake ToppmeyerandJohn Adamsdiscuss whether this result puts DeBoer on the hot seat. They're dumping the idea of Alabama making the playoff, while increasing their stock in two SEC teams that showed promise for a higher-than-expected ceiling. Also, the hosts react toArch Manning's lackluster performancein Texas' loss to Ohio State, and Adams stumps fora certain SEC team to be ranked No. 1in the polls.

The Crimson Tide got bullied. The rushing yardage differential (230 to 74) tells you everything you need to know about how this went. Alabama has become an opponent that you can talk trash to and get away with it. But, there's the matter of DeBoer's buyout. If Alabama fires DeBoer after this season, it would owe him the second-largest buyout in college football history. As bad as it might seem right now for Alabama fans, I don't think the Tide have found the rock bottom that would be necessary to swallow that buyout after Year 2. DeBoer's in trouble, but hot-seat talk remains a bit premature. Adams:I sprained my ankle springing free of the DeBoer bandwagon during that debacle in Tallahassee. Is Alabama drilling for oil? If not, does Texas A&M have any funds leftover from firing Jimbo Fisher (at a cost of $76 million) that it could loan Alabama? My gut tells me Alabama isn't too eager to shell out more than $60 million to fire DeBoer at a time when schools also need money to pay their athletes. So, I wouldn't label DeBoer as being on the hot seat just yet, but the fact that we're using the words "hot seat" and "buyout" in the same sentence with a coach who's only 14 games deep into his tenure should tell you how this is going for DeBoer.
