For reference, the Crimson Tide opened the 2025 season at No. 7 to win the national championship, sitting as the third SEC team in preseason championship odds behind Texas and Georgia. Alabama's odds to win the national championship were +1000 before the 2025 season began.

Alabama's current preseason odds of +1800 are the lowest for the Crimson Tide entering a season since the start of the 2008 season, when the Crimson Tide's odds opened at +6000. Alabama went on to go 12-2 overall, undefeated in the regular season, before falling to Florida in the SEC championship and Utah in the Sugar Bowl. The next season, the Crimson Tide went undefeated and won the national championship.
