Kalen Deboer and Alabama’s Playoff Picture Gets Clearer With Big Strength of Schedule Update Kalen DeBoer’s Alabama Crimson Tide gets to see a silver lining after a big update comes for their schedule

Right now, the Alabama Crimson Tide fans must be facing the biggest dilemma. To be or not to be proud of Kalen DeBoer’s boys. After all, the squad fell flat in their 2025 season opener against Florida State. However, they made up for the loss by going on an unstoppable run against Louisiana Monroe, securing a 73-0 win. As DeBoer and co. gear up for the upcoming game against Wisconsin, and with two games down, here comes a projection of the rest of their schedule. Looks like a playoff ticket could be in their destiny.

On September 7, Alabama beat writer Nick Kelly tweeted, “Alabama has the 8th toughest remaining strength of schedule, per ESPN FPI. 1. Florida 2. Arkansas 3. Oklahoma 4. Wisconsin 5. Mississippi State 6. Georgia 7. Texas A&M 8. Alabama 9. Vanderbilt 10. South Carolina.”
