Will Alabama Go Undefeated in 2023?
Bama comes in with +550 odds to go undefeated behind both Michigan (+375) and Ohio State (+350).
The catch is that they are receiving an astounding 68.4% of betting tickets and 78.3% of the money — according to BetMGM — to defy those odds. To put it in perspective, Clemson is the next closest team with just 5.3% of tickets and 2.7% of money.
A reason for this wave of Crimson Tide support could be that they locked up the No. 1 recruiting class for the third time in six years going into this season. The class is highlighted by record-breaking nine five-star prospects who could easily contribute to an undefeated season.
Undefeated Team History
Alabama went undefeated in the 2020 regular season but did not go on to win the National Championship. Instead, the Tide had to settle for a Citrus Bowl win over Michigan. Other notable teams that have gone undefeated are as follows:
| Team | Year |
|---|---|
| Georgia | 2022 |
| Alabama | 2020 |
| LSU | 2019 |
| Clemson | 2018 |
| Florida State | 2013 |
| Auburn | 2010 |
| Alabama | 2009 |
| Texas | 2005 |
| Ohio State | 2002 |
| Miami (Fla.) | 2001 |
Is Notre Dame A Sleeper?
To find the next highest handle behind Alabama, you’ll have to look all the way down at the 17th-ranked Notre Dame squad (+2000). The Fighting Irish hold a surprising 6.5% of the money in support of an undefeated season.
The shift of star player Chris Tyree from RB to wideout could be why the Irish fans have faith in new offensive coordinator, Gerad Parker.

Grabbing one of the best quarterbacks in the transfer portal, Sam Hartman helps plenty as well. That’s a huge reason why the Golden Domers are an extremely popular bet on the College Football Playoff Odds board.
Either way, Notre Dame will have to be firing on all cylinders to overcome matchups against USC, Ohio State, and Clemson.
