1. Since Nick Saban arrived in Tuscaloosa, the Crimson Tide have gone 8-6 against the spread in bowl games. Alabama has won the national championship in two of the last three years, and the Tide deservedly opened their game against the Sooners as gigantic favorites. One impressive Saban trend that stands out when looking at this game is that Alabama is 5-1 against the spread when playing on a neutral field as a favorite of 10.5 to 14 points.
