The last time Alabama played a game below 32° was 1998.

Now Alabama wins for a ton of reasons other than just warm weather, obviously. But what if in late November or December, Alabama had to play Ohio St. in 11° weather? They would probably be fine, but at least it would be an obstacle they would have to overcome and adapt to.
