Alabama football thoroughly enjoyed being counted out versus Georgia in the SEC Championship matchup.
The coaches and players relished the underdog role, and the Crimson Tide thrashed the Bulldogs.
Alabama grabbed the top seed for the College Football Playoff, and a few players won individual awards. Bryce Young became the school’s first Heisman-winning quarterback. Will Anderson won the Bronko Nagurski Trophy and is a Unanimous All-American.
Young and Evan Neal are Consensus All-Americans, and the Tide faces Cincinnati in the Cotton Bowl.
Nick Saban has the No. 1 team, but the players want to keep the mindset from playing Georgia.
