 For the second time in the 2021 calendar year, Alabama is heading to AT&T Stadium for its College Football Playoff semifinal. This year, the top-ranked Crimson Tide will face off against Luke Fickell and No. 4 Cincinnati, the first Group of 5 team ever to make the playoff, in the Cotton Bowl. Alabama earned its latest playoff berth on the strength of a 12-1 record and SEC championship. That said, the Crimson Tide faced uncertainty the week of the conference title game, needing to beat top-ranked Georgia in order to ensure entry into the playoff. Alabama did so in a massive upset, jumping from No. 3 to No. 1 overall.

Curiously, Nick Saban and Co. beat the Fighting Irish in last year's Rose Bowl Game. It's also worth noting that the last non-automatic qualifying team Alabama played in a New Year's bowl game — the 2008 Utah Utes, then out of the Mountain West — demolished the Crimson Tide 31-17 in the Sugar Bowl to remain the only undefeated team in college football. Needless to say, Saban will not let his team overlook a Bearcats team that faces the biggest point spread of bowl season (14). There are several interesting storylines in this one, not least of which is the quarterback battle between Heisman Trophy winner and Sporting News Player of the Year Bryce Young and projected first-round draft pick Desmond Ridder. It will also be a reunion of sorts for Cincinnati running back Jerome Ford, who began his collegiate career at Alabama. Of course, the winner of this game will take on the winner of No. 2 Michigan and No. 3 Georgia in the CFP title game.
