Matchup Breakdown
Alabama Crimson Tide Outlook
Alabama crushed Eastern Illinois 56-0, rushing for eight touchdowns. QB Ty Simpson has 2,934 passing yards but has struggled recently with three interceptions in two games. The Crimson Tide rank 10th nationally in passing yards (3,217) and have 23 sacks and nine interceptions defensively. Their balanced attack and defensive pressure make them tough to beat, especially with CFP stakes on the line.
Auburn Tigers Outlook
Auburn routed Mercer 62-17, with QB Deuce Knight accounting for six touchdowns. RB Jeremiah Cobb leads with 936 rushing yards, while QB Ashton Daniels returns this week with 538 passing yards and 172 rushing yards in limited action. Auburn’s defense ranks sixth in SEC scoring defense (23.1 points allowed) and has 28 sacks, showing strength despite offensive inconsistency. Their bowl hopes hinge on upsetting Alabama.
Key Matchup / Path to Victory
