Alabama (10-2) had a “down” season by their lofty standards, dropping two conference games to knock them out of SEC Championship Game contention. The Tide had more close calls than they've had in recent years and had to rely on reigning Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young to carry the offense at multiple turns. This was the first time since 2017 where Bama didn't have a single 1,000-yard wide receiver.
