The Alabama Crimson Tide head into 2017 after another successful season, finishing 2016 with a 14-1, 8-0 record that included an SEC Championship and a victory in the College Football Playoff’s Peach Bowl semifinal. Even with a loss in the national title game to Clemson, the Saban Train continues to roll, seemingly unscathed, into this year’s campaign.
