ESPN's Predictions

Kyle Bonagura believes Alabama will earn the No. 9 seed and face off against the No. 8 seed Notre Dame in South Bend. This first-round matchup will be a tough test for the Crimson Tide, but their experience and talent give them a good chance of coming out on top. If they succeed, they will face the No. 1 seed Oregon in the Rose Bowl.

Mark Schlabach projects Alabama as the No. 8 seed and hosting a home playoff game at Bryant-Denny Stadium. The first-round playoff game against the No. 9 seed Ole Miss will be a battle for Alabama. Despite the challenges, the team is ready to rise to the occasion and make their mark.

The Athletic's Take

Austin Mock predicts that Alabama will just make it into the playoff and then travel to State College to face the Nittany Lions. This first-round game will be a crucial test for the Crimson Tide's playoff hopes. If they can overcome the odds and win, they will face the No. 3 seed Miami in the quarterfinals.
