The former Alabama head coach shared the Crimson Tide position group he has the most questions about heading into the season. Plus, who Nick Saban thinks will play in the 2024 SEC Championship Game.
Alabama's turn at SEC Media Days isn't until Wednesday, but there was still plenty of chatter about the Crimson Tide as the annual event kicked off on Monday.
Since there are no divisions in the conference this season with the addition of Texas and Oklahoma, there will no longer be and East and West champion, but instead the top two teams in the standings will get to play in Atlanta for the conference crown. When discussing potential College Football Playoff teams in the SEC with the expanded 12-team format, Alabama was also talked about. Saban thinks the Crimson Tide can be in the playoff hunt, but it also prompted him to bring up his biggest concerns with the 2024 Alabama team.
Clearly, secondary is an area of concern for Saban. It is the position group he worked most closely with at Alabama. The only returning defensive back with starting experience at Alabama is Malachi Moore. The Crimson Tide got some help in the transfer portal with USC cornerback Domani Jackson and Wake Forest cornerback DaShawn Jones alongside safeties Keon Sabb from Michigan, King Mack from Penn State and Kameron Howard from Charlotte.
