Alabama Football’s Shocking AP Poll Plunge: What’s Behind Their Worst Ranking in Over 15 Years?
The Alabama Crimson Tide football program will begin the 2025 season in an unfamiliar spot — outside the preseason top five for the second straight year. The newly released AP preseason poll ranks the Crimson Tide at No. 8, their lowest ranking since 2008, adding intrigue to Kalen DeBoer’s second season as head coach of the program.
The AP Poll ranking comes after a 9-4 finish to the 2024 season, where the Tide placed No. 17 in the final poll and missed the College Football Playoff for the first time in the expanded 12-team era. It also marks the third-highest SEC slot in the rankings, trailing No. 1 Texas and No. 5 Georgia, but ahead of No. 9 LSU.
