Warts are for everyone this season in college football. Nobody is airbrushed perfection. Alabama 2020 was so last year.
That lesson continues to hit home as the season unfolds—we simply may not have a super team. Alabama certainly appeared the closest thing to it, but then the Crimson Tide went into The Swamp and barely escaped with a victory. It was the closest they’ve come to defeat since being beaten in the 2019 Iron Bowl.
But Alabama still appears more bulletproof than usual suspects. Clemson scored 14 and barely avoided a late collapse against Georgia Tech.
