No, the Tigers are not projected to be a College Football Playoff contender, so a National Championship appearance is somewhat of a distant fantasy.
But thinking AU could surprise a ton of experts–who have predictions ranging from an 8-4 finish to falling into the bottom half of the SEC West–is something that is made possible because of the second-year leap Bigsby is expected to take.
