With back-to-back dominant wins, Kalen DeBoer appears to be turning things around on the field at Alabama, but through the struggles, including a Week 1 loss to Florida State, Crimson Tide fans have held tight to the second-year head coach’s back-to-back top-five recruiting classes and the influx of talent they’ll bring.
However, the latest rankings update for Rivals could threaten to strip away that silver lining.
