In 2022, Alabama football lost two games by a combined total of three points. Some fans and analysts from around the country saw that and said Nick Saban’s dynasty might be on its last leg. While there wasn’t a conference championship appearance or a College Football Playoff berth last season, let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
The Crimson Tide lost a decent amount of talent to the draft and the transfer portal, which some critics have pointed to as a big reason why the program can’t possibly bounce back in 2023. However, this is exactly why Saban and his coaching staff land top recruiting classes every year. It’s a matter of reloading, not rebuilding.
The upcoming season poses many challenges. This team, however, seems up to the task. How might they perform? Well, for now, we can only rely on predictions from fans and analysts until the season gets underway.
College Football News recently put together projections for every FBS team and had Alabama winning the SEC West and finishing the regular season record at 10-2.
Those two losses, they project, come at the hands of Texas A&M and Auburn, both games are on the road in 2023.
Last season, Alabama fell to Tennessee and LSU. College Football News has both of those games tabbed as wins for Alabama this year.
The SEC championship would consist of a historical one that has brought some amazing games: Alabama vs. Georgia.
