Is Alabama REALLY A Playoff Team In 2026?

Alabama is coming off an 11-win season, a College Football Playoff appearance, and an SEC Championship Game berth. So why does 2026 feel so uncertain? For the first time in years, the Crimson Tide enter a season with major questions at quarterback, offensive line, run game, and linebacker. The talent level is still elite, but Alabama's path back to the SEC title and College Football Playoff may depend on how quickly those issues get solved. In this Alabama 2026 Preview, we break down Kalen DeBoer's third season in Tuscaloosa, the quarterback battle between Austin Mack and Keelon Russell, the offensive line rebuild, Ryan Grubb's offense, Kane Wommack's defense, and the schedule that could determine whether Alabama is a championship contender or simply a very good SEC team.
