The biggest story in college football this off-season was the Alabama Crimson Tide transition of legendary head coach Nick Saban for Kalen Deboer. Replacing a seven-time national champion coach who holds virtually every record in the book is nearly impossible. However, DeBoer is as good as he has been in just two years with the Washington Huskies he led them to a 25-3 record as well as a national title berth last season.
There has been some movement in the transfer portal as a result of Saban’s retirement, but the Crimson Tide roster will be as good as any in 2024 with Jalen Milroe running the show. Alabama will have its work cut out for it as it plays one of the toughest schedules in the country in the newly expanded SEC.
The Action Network projects the Crimson Tide to win between 9-10 games in 2024, as they have set their win total at 9.5 games. It’s a very complicated line with trips to Wisconsin Badgers, Tennessee Volunteers, LSU Tigers It is Oklahoma earlier like this Georgia BulldogsMissouri and Brown Tigers coming to town.
Fortunately, 2024 marks the beginning of college football’s playoff expansion, with 12 spots up for grabs this year as opposed to four in the past. The SEC will likely have about four to five representatives, so winning the conference title doesn’t have the same value as it once did.
