30+ players hit the Transfer Portal when Coach Saban retired and some recruits went elsewhere. The fact that Alabama is still winning fairly well tells you a lot about the culture.

So if Coach Saban was still there, yes Bama would be favored

Alabama is thin in places, but if they are healthy, and no injuries during the game, then Bama will win.

Bama by 3

We would be getting the Cignetti/Saban connection ad nauseam. Now, it will be all about the Coach DeBoer/Indiana connection as OC. The greatest winner in college football, making their 100-year return to the Rose Bowl vs the worst loser in college football, and how NIL and the portal have changed the fortunes of the unwashed.
