Ten: Germie Bernard goes for 1000 yards opposite Ryan Williams and scores 5 to 10 TD’s during the season as the trio of Horton, Williams, and Bernard gives defenses fits.

Nine: Isaiah Horton becomes an All-American and 1st round pick and is the clutch third down and redzone WR for Bama.

Eight: The Bama defense averages 2 plus turnovers per game. as the Bama pass rush flourishes and the Bama secondary records 10 to 15 interceptions on the season.

Seven: Interior D-line is stout. Tim Keenan and James Smith and their back-up’s fortify the defensive interior line and Bama becomes a strong run defense in 2025. Backup: Jeremiah Beaman (RS FR) Depth: Steve Mboumoua (JR) Edric Hill (RS SO) Depth: Isaia Faga (RS FR) and London Simmons (FR) – one of two of them step up and provide depth to shore up interior d-line

Six: Bama sack pack is back. LT Overton, Qua Russaw, and Deonte Lawson led the Bama defense to a dominant playoff run. This trio raises its level of play in 2025 registers 15 to 20 QB sacks during the 2025 season.

Five: Daniel Hill becomes the next great Bama RB. Rushes for 1000 yards and is the lead back for the year.

Four: Ryan Williams goes for over 1000 receiving yards and 10 plus TD’s and is a first team All-American.

Three: The Bama backfield rushes for over 2500 yds as a unit as the Bama run game re-emerges as a force.

Two: Ty Simpson follows in Mac Jones’s footsteps and leads Bama to a Natty. Simpson throws for over 3000 yards and 30 TD passes for the season. Ty also runs for 400 to 500 yds and 5 TD’s as his mobility and escapability keep defenses off-balance

Recent QB’s winning a natty – Will Howard, JJ McCarthy, Stetson Bennett twice, Mac Jones, and Joe Burrow. What does that say? And can Ty Simpson win a natty? Yes.

One: Bama wins the natty. Goes 10-2 during the regular season, makes the playoffs (but not the SEC championship) and then peaks to win the natty during a tough, strong playoff run. Bama goes 10-2 losing only to GA and to either Auburn or/SC to make the playoff’s. Then Bama runs through the playoffs like Ohio State did last year to win a natty beating Clemson in the Championship game. Brad Powers – a college football professional handicapper and college football betting expert – is listing Alabama and Notre Dame as his two best bets to win the natty.

Bama has a loaded roster and heavy on juniors and seniors who have been with the program for a long time.
