As ESPN's Peter Burns pointed out, Nick Saban and the Tide are remarkably good in this particular title game, in Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Previous stats aside, the Bulldogs have been the best team in college football all season. They have not always played pretty, but they win and with history within reach in the form of a rare three-peat, expect them to pull out their best game of the season and knock off an Alabama team that may be desperate to extend its dynasty but look to be a year away from truly contending for the title.
Oregon's place in the playoffs is dependent upon a Pac-12 Championship victory over the Washington Huskies, the only team to hang a loss on the Ducks in 2023.
Nix has been sacked only five times this season, and the Huskies are not a team that effectively applies pressure, meaning the fifth-year senior will have plenty of time to find his receivers.
Despite this, the Huskies won the first meeting, forcing the Ducks into three fourth-down plays that they failed to convert in that first go-round. Led by another Heisman candidate, quarterback Michael Penix Jr., the team is a never-say-die squad that constantly competes and finds ways to win.
