ESPN's Bill Connelly released his 2025 SEC football preview on Friday, and his SP+ model became the second ESPN computer model revealed to be bullish on Kalen DeBoer and Alabama for the upcoming season.
ESPN's FPI (Football Power Index) has Alabama at No. 3, behind two fellow SEC opponents in Texas and Georgia. Connelly's SP+ is even higher on the Crimson Tide, ranking Alabama No. 2 in the country and as the top team in the SEC.
Connelly's metrics give Alabama a 16.1% chance of winning the SEC Title, slightly ahead of Georgia's 15.
