Four teams will play for the chance to win the national title in the 2016 College Football Playoff. What do Alabama football’s chances of bringing home more hardware look like?

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to talk with FanSided site expert Anthony Messenger. Messenger runs site Rubbing The Rock, dedicated to all things Clemson Tigers. Since Clemson will once again be playing in the CFP, there’s a chance the Tigers will meet the Alabama football team in the championship game again this year.

First, the Tide must roll over the Washington Huskies in the Chick Fil A Peach Bowl on New Year’s Eve at 2pm central. Then that evening at 6PM , the Tigers have to beat Urban Meyer’s Ohio State Buckeyes in the PlayStation Fiesta Bowl.

If both the Clemson and Alabama football teams win their respective games, they will face one another in a rematch of last year’s championship game on January 9th.

Knowing that the possibility is on the table, Messenger wanted to get a Bama fan’s perspective – in this case, mine –  on this 2016 Alabama football team. He asked just five questions that I answered to the best of my ability. You can read Andrew’s version of the Q&A here, on the Rubbing the Rock site.
