The Alabama Crimson Tide continued to look like an absolute machine in their Week 7 victory over a top-15-ranked Missouri Tigers squad, picking up yet another big-time SEC win in the process.
The turnaround Kalen DeBoer‘s squad has seen since they dropped that Week 1 shocker to the Florida State Seminoles has been nothing short of extraordinary, and the Tide doesn’t appear to be slowing down any time soon.
The folks over at ESPN are certainly starting to take notice of Alabama’s elite play, and this was illustrated by their jump in the most recent ESPN power rankings.
Alabama jumped up 2 spots from No. 9 up to No. 7 following its 27-24 win at Mizzou, reaching their highest ranking in ESPN’s power rankings since the preseason, where they were also slotted in at No. 7.
While the Tide have certainly looked the part of SEC and national title contenders as of late, ESPN analyst Andrea Adelson says that they’re going to have to get better at running the ball if they want to reach their fullest potential in 2025. Here’s Adelson’s analysis:
The Crimson Tide have reeled off five straight wins since losing the opener to Florida State, but they have done it without a strong run game. Alabama has struggled to consistently move the ball on the ground, and losing Jam Miller to a concussion in the fourth quarter of a 27-24 win over Missouri on Saturday is certainly not the news this team needs headed into the Tennessee game this week. Alabama ranks No. 103 in the nation in rush offense and is averaging just 3.89 yards per rush. Against Missouri, Alabama had 43 carries for just 126 yards. Ty Simpson has been carrying this offense, but at some point, Alabama is going to have to run the ball more consistently than it has this season.
Alabama will host Tennessee in Week 8.
