Alabama football had what some Crimson Tide fans would call a down year, all because of a regular season loss and a team that didn’t necessarily feel as dominant as it has in recent years. At the end of the 2021 season, Alabama finished with a loss in the national championship game to Georgia. A feat most programs would still consider a win.
With plenty of talent returning in 2022, there are plenty of reasons for Alabama fans to be excited.
College Football News recently shared bowl game predictions for the upcoming season and had the Crimson Tide in an interesting position when the postseason rolls around.
The Bowl Game:
Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl: Alabama vs. USC
A contest between two truly historic college football programs in a playoff game. College Football News predicts Lincoln Riley to have plenty of success with the Trojans in his first year with the program after leaving Oklahoma.
Riley’s luck runs out there, however, as Alabama is expected to win and move on to the national championship game in Los Angeles. Their projected opponent? Ohio State. A rematch of the 2020 national championship game.
