There isn't a team in college football that would be favored to beat Alabama right now and there are very few who would even be a single digit underdog. The team right now with the best chance to beat Alabama according to ESPN's FPI ratings comes from the Big Ten and is none other than Michigan.

Alabama would be favored against anybody in the country on a neutral field. Michigan would be the closest competition, according to the FPI.

Now you can say what you will about ESPN's FPI ratings (Ole Miss at 3-4 is number 11?) but even Vegas has Michigan with the best odds against Bama on a neutral field.

We're getting ahead of ourselves but it would be a great matchup to see Bama and Nick Saban take on that Michigan coach and the Wolverines. The lead in to that game would be monumental and the game might not be a blow out.
