Alabama football’s 37-20 win over Tennessee marks the end of the Crimson Tide’s gauntlet versus ranked opponents since their bye week.
Kalen DeBoer’s squad has collected victories over ranked conference teams like infinity stones, and No. 11 Tennessee is the latest ranked team to lose to Alabama, joining Georgia, Vanderbilt and Missouri.

Alabama has made history in the process. This 2025 Alabama football team is the first and only team in SEC history to defeat four ranked opponents in a row with no open dates.
There is one more SEC opponent left before Alabama’s next bye week, but it is unranked South Carolina.
