We are roughly halfway through the 2023 college football season, and it still feels as if this year’s national championship could belong to anyone. The Georgia Bulldogs looked the best they have all year against Kentucky this past Saturday, Ohio State, Michigan and Penn State all have playoff aspirations, and the PAC-12 has probably been the best conference in the entire country but don’t for one second think the Tide are out of the race.
At 5-1 on the year, Nick Saban’s Alabama Crimson Tide squad is very much alive in the playoff hunt. Tennessee and LSU both travel to Bryant-Denny later in the year with Alabama still set to visit Kentucky and Auburn, the season is far from over. However, a path to the playoffs is beginning to look much clearer by the day. Win out, win the SEC and the Alabama Crimson Tide will be among the final four teams playing in January.
Despite dropping an early season game against Texas, the Tide have looked much better in the week’s following and sneakily have top-10 odds to win this year’s national championship.
