After rising in both the US LBM Coaches Poll and AP Poll following their Week 2 win over Kentucky, did the Alabama Crimson Tide do the same in ESPN's latest Football Power Index (FPI) rankings?
As of Sunday, Sept. 13, Alabama now ranks as the nation's No. 7 team with a FPI rating of 23.2. Alabama is the third-highest rated team in the SEC, trailing only Texas (30.1) and Georgia (26.6).
Last week, the Crimson Tide ranked No. 9 with a rating of 22.5 immediately following a win over East Carolina.
ESPN's FPI also projects Alabama's win-loss record at 9.2-3.1, giving the Crimson Tide a 2.7% chance to win out. In addition to that percentage, ESPN's FPI currently gives Alabama a 12.4% chance to win the SEC, 54.7% to make the College Football Playoff,
and 5.4% to win the national championship.
Undefeated at 2-0 overall (1-0 SEC), Alabama will return home in Week 3 for a nonconference game against Florida State. Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. ET on ABC this upcoming Saturday, Sept. 19.
