After a home loss to Oklahoma Saturday, Nov. 15, Alabama football remains firmly in the College Football Playoff hunt.
But now, instead of the Crimson Tide having a conversation about a first-round bye, Alabama is balancing between a hosting a first-round game and traveling for one.
Alabama lost its first SEC game of the season to the Sooners, falling to Oklahoma 23-21 for the Crimson Tide’s second loss of the season. A win against Auburn in the final game of the 2025 regular season will likely put Alabama in the SEC championship game.
Alabama will finish its home schedule against Eastern Illinois at 1 p.m. CT Saturday, Nov. 22.
