- Matt Schumacker and Aaron Murray will call the game from the booth while Taylor Davis reports from the sideline.
- Alabama enters 7-2 (5-2 SEC) and ranked No. 3 in the latest CFP standings while Vanderbilt is 4-5 (1-5 SEC) after a 25-23 win at Mississippi State on Nov. 7.
- Alabama wide receiver Keelon Russell is listed as a game-time decision with reports that coaches could limit his snaps or give Austin Mack more work to protect Russell's ankle ahead of the postseason stretch.
- BetMGM lists Alabama as a heavy favorite (spread -15.5; money line Vanderbilt +575/Alabama -750) and one published pick projects a 42-21 Tide win, though Vanderbilt's upset of a No. 1 team two years ago is cited as proof the Commodores can surprise higher-ranked opponents.
