One of these teams is the Alabama CrimsonTide. Under Kalen DeBoer, who took over after Nick Saban retired following the 2023 season, the CrimsonTide finished 9-4 in DeBoer’s first year.
With three turnovers on the first four drives, Alabama looks nothing like a playoff team - no matter what the CrimsonTide fans believe. Michigan leads 16-0 at the start of the second quarter.
