Following an ugly road loss at Tennessee, did the Alabama Crimson Tide move in ESPN's latest Football Power Index team rankings entering Week 8?
As of Sunday, Oct. 18, Alabama is ranked as the nation's No. 6 team with a FPI rating of 24.2. The No. 6 ranking was the same as this time last week, although the Crimson Tide's FPI rating a week ago after the Georgia loss was 26.6, meaning it dropped after the Tennessee defeat.
ESPN's FPI also now projects Alabama's eventual win-loss record to be 9.2-3.0 with only a 22.4% chance to win out. In terms of the other FPI percentages, Alabama now has a 12.7% chance to win the SEC, as well as 49.4% chance to make the College Football Playoff, which dropped significantly from 82.3% last week before the Tennessee
game.
Alabama's chances of winning a national championship also took a significant hit, now sitting at only 4.9%.
Alabama's next game comes at home this upcoming Saturday, Oct. 24, against the Texas A&M Aggies. Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. ET on ABC.
