With the 2023 college football season fast approaching, Yahoo Sports is rolling out our annual Top 25. We revealed Nos. 11 through 25 in three parts and are now counting down from No. 10 to No. 1 in the days leading up to the official start of the season on Aug. 26.
The Crimson Tide have never gone more than two years without a national title in the College Football Playoff era.
If Alabama doesn’t win the national title in 2023, a three-year stretch without a national title will qualify as a drought for many Crimson Tide fans. And this team’s national title capability will largely come down to the play of the starting quarterback. Buchner’s arrival came after Alabama’s spring game — a possible sign that Saban and his staff weren’t comfortable with their in-house options at quarterback. Simpson is a four-star recruit who spent the 2022 season as the No. 3 QB. Milroe served as Bryce Young’s backup over the past two seasons and has been much more dynamic as a rusher than a passer.
The lofty expectations set by Young, Mac Jones and Tua Tagovailoa shouldn’t be applied to whoever wins the starting job in 2023. But competency is an absolute must. Alabama cannot win the national title or even the SEC West without a quarterback playing largely mistake-free football.The original Alabama blueprint for national titles included a stifling defense stocked with NFL talent, a powerful running game and a quarterback who was solid but not spectacular.
