Alabama analysis
You know that nagging fly that just hovers around you and doesn’t want to leave because it thinks your body is a prime piece of real estate that can just annoy you for the remainder of time?
Vanderbilt analysis
I love how I talked all that trash to Alabama just now, only to look at Vanderbilt’s record and see that The Commodores have only three fewer wins than said Alabama.
Prediction
I feel like we are at an impasse with this game, and I am left here thinking that Alabama will get the job done. Will that result in another rise into the rankings as to a top 20 spot? That remains to be seen and I don’t know if I want to stick around to see if that actually happens.

Alabama Team Offense Preview
Getting excited about an offensive efficiency of 109.8 is going a bit overboard with an above-average offense. And nothing more than that. Now that we know what the overall offense looks like, it is time to understand why this offense is the way it is. They tend to score a bit more off the dribble inside the perimeter than most.
Vanderbilt Team Defense Preview
They have an elite level defense and fans may not appreciate it because they get so fixated on scoring, dunks, and drama, but this defense is as good as it gets right now. Now that we know what the overall defense looks like, it is time to understand why this defense is the way it is.
Vanderbilt Team Offense Preview
