With the Florida Gators and Alabama Crimson Tide missing from the national championship for two years, fans are questioning the Southeastern Conference's dominance.

Here's what Jason Jones and Kalen DeBoer had to say about the former Alabama player's hire as an assistant DBs coach.

But 9-4 won’t cut it Alabama. Not this year, not any year now that Nick Saban has set the standard so preposterously high via 6 national championships and 9 SEC crowns in 17 seasons. Fair or not, DeBoer walked into what can confidently be called an unwinnable situation – unwinnable, of course, unless he won every game in the 2024 season.

Ray Perkins, who started with an 8-4 record in 1983, led the Crimson Tide to a 5-6 record in 1984 with losses to Boston College, Georgia Tech, Vanderbilt, Georgia, Tennessee and LSU. Alabama entered the season No. 9 in the AP poll, and finished the season unranked.

Alabama will welcome Ole Miss to Coleman Coliseum Tuesday night for another top-25 clash with a conference that is full of them. Just three teams remain undefeated in conference play in the mighty Southeastern Conference and two of them play Tuesday night. Ole Miss head coach Chris Beard is not downplaying the significance of the matchup.

Fans looking to watch this college basketball game will need access to the SEC Network, which they can get by using FuboTV, which offers a free trial and $30 off your first month, or DirecTV Stream, which also offers a free trial. SlingTV doesn’t offer a free trial but does have other promotional offers available.

Alabama football is losing one of their top defenders to the NFL Draft. Malachi Moore posted his goodbye to Crimson Tide fans.

Alabama forward Derrion Reid's presence on the availability report comes as a bit of a surprise because Oats didn't mention anything about an injury during Monday's press conference. He missed the game against North Dakota on Dec. 18 due to an ankle injury, but he has played without restrictions ever since.

There is a matchup of two of the three teams with undefeated records in SEC play on Tuesday, Jan. 14 when the No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide host the No. 21 Ole Miss Rebels at Coleman Coliseum in Tuscaloosa, Ala.

Nate Oats compared Alabama basketball to some of Nick Saban’s best football teams with the Crimson Tide. Now hang on, pump the brakes. We understand Oats and Alabama haven’t won a national championship on the hardwood yet. But it’s hard not to see the Saban influence on Oats’ program following Saturday’s win.

By Keith Taylor Kentucky Today Alabama was the first team to 100 points and it was just enough to hold off Kentucky Saturday in a showdown between the two top-scoring teams in the Southeastern Conference.
