Ahead of the 2025 season, both Lindy’s and Athlon Sports have Alabama football No. 8 in their top 2025 rankings. The two major preview magazines are predicting an improved year for the Crimson Tide in Kalen DeBoer’s second season at head coach, but still have more than a handful of other teams ranked higher. Between the two, eight squads earned a higher ranking than UA, with two disagreements as to whether a team will finish better than the Tide.
