Alabama plummets in college football rankings
Digest more
The SEC title game picture is a mess, but the Week 12 SEC Power Rankings are right on point. Georgia, Oklahoma move up, Alabama, Texas move down.
Should Texas A&M and Alabama meet, the Aggies would have locked in a top-4 seed and opening-round bye in the College Football Playoff. Texas A&M could even overtake top-ranked Ohio State with 13-0 finish given the strength of schedule.

SEC standings, explained: Updated 2025 tiebreakers for Texas A&M, Alabama, Georgia, Ole Miss and Texas
Texas A&M and Alabama have the cleanest road to Atlanta, but there are chaos scenarios that include seven teams.
There are two teams unbeaten in SEC play: Texas A&M and Alabama, both 6-0. They don’t face each other. If they win their remaining SEC games, they will face off in Atlanta. That’s it. Very simple. Texas A&M’s remaining games: Home against South Carolina, at Texas.
If the Crimson Tide lose to Oklahoma and beat Auburn, they're only in the SEC Championship Game if Texas loses to Georgia or Texas A&M by virtue of tiebreakers over Georgia (H2H) and Ole Miss (common opponents).
The journey of Alabama's season didn't change much with loss to Oklahoma, but vibes were harpooned and perception polluted.
For those keeping track at home, that’s 11 SEC teams in the top 25. The 5 SEC squads not in the top 25 were: South Carolina (No. 29), Kentucky (No. 33), Florida (No. 34), Arkansas (No. 41) and Mississippi State (No. 48).
