Crimson Tide Preview 2024

From Athlon:

"Alabama’s historic success under Nick Saban meant that the expectations each season were essentially national championship or bust. The bar is still high, but expectations need to be kept in check for new coach Kalen DeBoer’s first season, as he brings together a new coaching staff and a turned-over roster that had almost 40 players leave through the transfer portal or for the NFL Draft. Alabama plays a tough schedule but still has enough talent to compete for a spot in the new 12-team College Football Playoff."
