The College Football Playoff will officially be underway at 3:00 p.m. CT. Alabama is not new to the playoffs.

Notre Dame, […]

The Tide have had the top recruiting class in the nation for five of the last six years, according to CBS Sports recruiting rankings. It should be noted that there […]
Alabama is no stranger to going undefeated in the SEC. However, in a unique season with COVID-19 precautions, players and coaches sitting out, and a 10-game, all-conference schedule — this one was different. Saturday’s 52-3 demolition of Arkansas made this the fifth regular season in which the Crimson Tide have gone undefeated since head coach […]
Death Valley, allegedly “where opposing teams’ dreams die,” might need a new nickname after Saturday night.

The University of Alabama football team has not played a single game in November yet. Their last game was on Halloween night when they shutout Mississippi State 41-0. A bye week, and too many positive COVID-19 cases for LSU last week, are the two things that led to this point. That is a lot of […]
Everyone was used to seeing quarterback Tua Tagovailoa make incredible plays on Saturdays a year ago for the Alabama Crimson Tide.

Bama continued to get it done through the air in a 41-0 shutout against Mississippi State.
