1. Nick Saban is going to have the top team in 2022

Whenever Alabama loses in the national title game, it seems to motivate Nick Saban, even more, to bounce back and return to glory.

And with the national title game loss in excruciating fashion on Monday night, it’s fairly clear that Saban is going to return with revenge on the mind and his focus this offseason isn’t going to be matched. When you defeat a legend, they usually bounce back 10 times stronger and we’re about to see that with Saban and Alabama.

Georgia finally pulled off the win over the Tide and it felt like it was only a matter of time, but you know it killed Saban to relinquish that crown as the top team in college football. It will be a short-lived backseat for the legendary head coach.

Saban is going to have the No. 1 team in the country to start the 2022 season more than likely as Bryce Young returns with a talented young receiving corps, solid defense, elite recruiting class, and coaching staff ready to get to work and figure out what went wrong.

Don’t be down for too long, Alabama fans, this pain will go away next year as the Tide will be title favorites.
