While Alabama football is coming off a disappointing season and it isn’t in the top two in the preseason polls, that’s when it’s the most dangerous.

This past season was the first time that the Crimson Tide have missed the College Football Playoff in its six-year run. Injuries and the rise of LSU were too much for Alabama to overcome to make it into the playoff.

The Crimson Tide have won at least 10 games in 13 seasons under head coach Nick Saban. This season, they’re one of the top teams in the nation and the favorite in the SEC. Saban will be entering his 14th season as head coach but he knows each year is completely different. This is especially true with the Crimson Tide having to play the 2020 season with a conference-only schedule.

There are some tough matchups for Alabama, but they are lucky that they do not have to play in a back-to-back road game setting. Fatigue will not be too much of an issue for the Tide as they will need to remain focused on their health and goal. There is a ton of NFL-caliber players on both sides of the ball that can make an impact every week.

The Crimson Tide have the least amount of questions concerning their team on both sides of the ball. They are one of the most complete teams in the nation but they will need to prove that when the season starts.

Here is the projection of Alabama’s 2020 season, game-by-game.
