One writer recently predicted the 2025 Alabama football season with sensible results, save for one mystifying home loss.
Alabama football fans are going to have to accept the new reality of college football. Not just because Nick Saban is no longer the coach, but because the game has fundamentally changed. With NIL, revenue-sharing, and the expansion of the College Football Playoff, what constitutes a "good" season is going to vary drastically from what it was 10 years ago.
11-1 is the 12-0. 10-2 is the new 11-1 and so on and so forth.
