Buy or Sell Alabama to Win the College Football Championship?

Buy or Sell?

All in all, Alabama has the talent and the leadership to get the job done. Between a dynamic offense and a defense that can slow down any opposing team, the hype now around the Crimson Tide is warranted. If the team can continue to gel together at the pace they have been, Bama could be on a different level by the time the postseason comes around. And with the talent at DeBoer’s disposal, the SEC powerhouse may be the team to beat.

Reason to Buy

Not many knew what to expect from the Crimson Tide entering the season after the retirement of Nick Saban. However, Alabama has looked like one of the best teams in the nation from the jump. With an explosive offense behind the duo of Heisman candidate Jalen Milroe and freshman sensation Ryan Williams, Bama is hard to defend for opposing defenses. On the other hand, the team’s defense has proven to be just as stout as years before. 

Reason to Sell

With a new head coach, an adjustment period should be expected for Alabama. So far, so good, but what happens if the team runs into conflict or injuries along the way? That goes for any team, but it’s rare to see such a seamless fit, especially in a program with as much success as Alabama football. In addition, if the Crimson Tide managed to match up with a team of Georgia’s caliber again, it would be interesting to see if DeBoer could make the proper adjustments to defeat a Kirby Smart-led team again.
