In the long months between a 9-4 season and 2025's opening Saturday. Alabama Crimson Tide fans believed three easy wins would be a preamble to championship contention. We could not have been more wrong. Coaches and players may believe that Alabama is a true championship contender, but no proof has been given. Such proof will not come in Week 3 either.
The Wisconsin Badgers might be a better team than the almost three touchdown point spread indicates. Or the Badgers might be a team short in enough weapons to prevent an Alabama blowout win. Either way, Saturday's game will tell us nothing about Alabama's championship potential.
