Alabama legend reacts to the possibility of Crimson Tide facing Texas in 12-team CFP

Could we see a blockbuster matchup open the 12-team College Football Playoff?

Bleacher Report projected a 12-team bracket Tuesday after the initial CFP rankings were revealed.

The University of Alabama debuted at No. 11 and was projected to face No. 6-seeded Texas. Mark Ingram, a Crimson Tide legend, became very excited on social media upon seeing the projection. The 2009 Heisman Trophy winner and BCS National Champion would love to see a battle between two traditional powers in Alabama and Texas. Kalen DeBoer defeated Steve Sarkisian and the Longhorns in the CFP Semifinal round in 2023 to advance to the CFP National Championship Game.
