We are just a few months away from the (hopeful) start of college football. Until then, we are occupying our time with NFL Mocks, schedule predictions, player spotlight, and now, a 2020 CFB Bowl Prediction.
247Sports released their 2020 preseason 2020 College Football bowl projections, and according to 247Sports, Alabama will make it back to the CFB Playoff.
This is good news for Alabama fans who witnessed the Crimson Tide miss the CFB playoff this season for the first time in the CFB Playoff’s existence.
According to 247Sports, the Crimson Tide will face Clemson in the Sugar Bowl.
“In our own preseason bowl picks, we’ve projected Georgia to win the East but losing in Atlanta to Alabama for a second time this fall — thus pushing the Bulldogs out of the final four picture. In this scenario however, it appears Georgia’s only loss of the season will come to the Crimson Tide in the much-anticipated rematch in December after Kirby Smart’s team “upsets” Alabama in Tuscaloosa early. Clemson vs. Alabama, again, is a matchup that didn’t live up to its billing last time around.”
Also in the CFB Playoff will be Georgia and Ohio State.
Will we really see 2 SEC teams in the CFB Playoff again?
And could we see a round 2 of a Georgia/Alabama national championship game?
That would be epic to see!
But 247 Sports sees Alabama and Ohio State facing off in the national title game. Which let’s be honest, that would be just as exciting to watch as well!
Alabama will have a tough season ahead of them. Not only do they open up with USC on September 5th, they also face Georgia on September 19th, LSU, and Auburn.
But with the return of RB Mac Jones, Najee Harris, WR Devonta Smith, and several key players on defense, the Crimson Tide looks to be a team that could not only make it back to the CFB Playoff, but win a national title. And that’s something that Alabama has been trying to do since 2017.
