College GameDay went to Alabama in Week 5 of last year. 

In 2023, Tuscaloosa hosted ESPN twice. The Crimson Tide also hosted twice in 2020. 

Alabama went 4-1 in those games, winning three of the four by double digits. Keep that stat in your back pocket if you’re considering the Alabama football odds this weekend against Vanderbilt.
