JUST IN: Alabama or Florida State? We just made our way-too-early prediction…
If Alabama and Florida State meet in the upcoming college football season, buckle up—this could be a clash of titans. Despite losing legendary coach Nick Saban, Alabama remains loaded with talent. Kalen DeBoer brings a new era to Tuscaloosa with a high-powered offense that could elevate the Crimson Tide to new heights. The defense, always a strength, should remain stout under veteran leadership.
On the flip side, Florida State is rising fast. Mike Norvell has built a deep, disciplined squad with explosive weapons on both sides of the ball. Quarterback play will be key, and if FSU can get consistency from under center, they might have the edge in big moments. Their defense, especially the secondary, is elite.
So who has the upper hand? Early edge goes to Alabama—purely based on depth, pedigree, and a history of rising to the moment. But don’t sleep on the Seminoles. If they catch the Tide early in DeBoer’s tenure, they could pull off the upset.
Prediction (for now): Alabama 30, Florida State 24. But check back in August—this one could swing either way.
