Is Alabama the Favorite to Win the 2022 College Football National Championship?

Even though the Crimson Tide is expected to lose a lot off the 2020-21 team, oddsmakers aren't betting against Nick Saban next season

Alabama won the national championship on Monday night, the Crimson Tide's sixth in 12 years. 

It can't repeat again, like the 2011-12 Crimson Tide teams did under Nick Saban, can it?

According to BetOnline, Alabama the the team to beat for the 2022 title as well, even though the Crimson Tide could have new starters at quarterback, running back, wide receiver, tight end, left tackle, left guard and center on the offense alone, plus a new coordinator.

Moreover, the next College Football Playoff is expected to have a very familiar look with three of this year's semifinal teams favored to return.
