Players for fifth-ranked Alabama say they aim to prove their Sugar Bowl matchup with Kansas State is meaningful to them, even if it isn't part of the College Football Playoff.

FILE – Alabama linebacker Will Anderson Jr. plays during the first half of an NCAA college football game, Saturday, Sept. 3, 2022, in Tuscaloosa, Ala. Anderson was selected to The Associated Press All-America team released Monday, Dec. 12, 2022. Players for fifth-ranked Alabama say they aim to prove their Sugar Bowl matchup with Kansas State is meaningful to them, even if it isn’t part of the College Football Playoff.

The 2008 Crimson Tide was favored against Utah in the Sugar Bowl that season, but lost by two touchdowns. The 2013 squad was favored in the Sugar Bowl, too, but lost — again, by two touchdowns — to Oklahoma. Kansas State lost three of its first nine games, but arrived in New Orleans on a four-game winning streak — including a dramatic overtime victory over No. 3 TCU in the Big 12 title game — that has put the Wildcats in position to make this season among the most memorable in program history.

“It’s more challenging when that’s sort of a goal for what the players work for all year long and came up short,” Saban said. “But I think that our players have had the right disposition and the right mindset.”
