Alabama is projected to rise to about No. 10 in the college football rankings after their recent victory over Georgia in September 2025. This win, especially on the road against a top-ranked opponent, is expected to boost Alabama significantly in the rankings. Multiple top 10 teams also suffered losses recently, which helps Alabama's rise. Alabama is currently tied atop the SEC standings and remains undefeated in conference play, positioning the team well for the rest of the season and the College Football Playoff race. Some projections even place Alabama around No. 7 or No. 8 in playoff-related rankings. However, Alabama was ranked No. 17 before this win, so the jump to around No. 10 would be substantial after Week 5 results.
