The Alabama Crimson Tide have consistently been among the best teams in college football since hiring Nick Saban as their coach. The Crimson Tide have not lost more than two games in a season since 2010 and have not lost more than three since 2007. They made their record-eighth appearance in the College Football Playoff, falling 27-20 to the Michigan Wolverines in the 2024 Rose Bowl.
Alabama has reached the championship game six times, winning three, both of which are also records in the 10-year history of the current format. Following their elimination from the college football playoff, the Crimson Tide saw nine players enter the transfer portal, joining five who did so following the regular season.
Take a look at those nine players below.
