As a result of their blowout 52-7 victory over Mercer, the Alabama Crimson Tide saw some change in the latest rankings Sunday, rising two spots in both the AP and US LBM Coaches Polls’.

In addition to this, Alabama also saw movement when it came to ESPN’s Football Power Index (FPI), with some of the metrics’ totals continuing to shift in the Crimson Tide’s direction in the latest update Sunday.

One of the biggest examples of this was Alabama’s 39.8% percentage chance to win the SEC championship, which is the highest among any team from the conference to win the title. After the Crimson Tide, the Texas Longhorns had the next-highest percentage to win the SEC at 38.7%, followed by Georgia at 17.1%.

Alabama, who dropped to the No. 2 overall team according to FPI after their win Saturday – with Texas jumping the Crimson Tide – has a 44.6% chance to win out, as well as a 70.7% chance to make the College Football Playoff. At 70.7%, Alabama has the third-best chance to make the CFP from the SEC behind only Texas and Georgia.

The Crimson Tide also have a 23.6% chance to make the national title game, as well as a 14.8% chance to win it, both of which are third-best nationally behind only Texas and Ohio State.
