Over the last two weeks, we have found out just where many across college football have the Alabama Crimson Tide ranked in their post-spring Top 25 rankings.
Included in this group are USA TODAY Sports’ Paul Myerburg and Erick Smith, who recently ranked Alabama among the nation’s top teams post-spring, sitting within the Top 10 nationally.
However, where do others have Alabama ranked, in particular ESPN?
Well, ESPN’s Mark Schlabach has Alabama ranked as the nation’s No. 9 team post-spring. Schlabach also moved the Crimson Tide up multiple spots from their previous ranking of No. 12 back in January, saying of Alabama:
“There’s no question the Crimson Tide took a big step back in coach Kalen DeBoer’s first season, but what team wouldn’t after losing Nick Saban, arguably the greatest coach of all time? Alabama is too good of a program — and DeBoer is too good of a coach — for it to not claw itself back into contention for an SEC title.”
“Ty Simpson seems to be the player who will replace Jalen Milroe at quarterback, and the Tide added Horton as another proven pass catcher to complement Williams. Former Washington offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb is also back after spending the past season in the NFL. There are future NFL players in the linebacker corps and secondary, but depth is a concern on the defensive line.”
Alabama’s 2025 season will officially begin August 30 against the Florida State Seminoles in Tallahassee.
