This is by far the worst year for college football quality in several seasons. This is the worst of Saban's NC Alabama teams. Basically they cannot defend the pass or a mobile QB. Fortunately for them, they only faced one team all year that has that kind of offense. ND is pretty much the perfect matchup for them, something similar to LSU but with less speed and a better defnesive front. Game comes down to specials and one or two plays. Probably a 13-10 or 16-13 win for Bama.
