阿拉巴马队首份季后赛排名列第5：两负仍压田纳西8位引争议
大学橄榄球季后赛评选委员会11月4日公布2026赛季首份排名，位于阿拉巴马州塔斯卡卢萨市的阿拉巴马大学红潮队位列第5。这一排位立即引发争议：阿拉巴马队此前在客场以10比26输给了田纳西队，却排在田纳西队之前8位。
评选委员会主席 Hunter Yurachek 解释，委员会看重阿拉巴马队对阵季后赛排名前25球队2胜2负的战绩，优于田纳西队的1胜2负，直接交锋结果并非唯一标准。批评者则指出，阿拉巴马、得克萨斯和密西西比大学三支两负的东南联盟球队，都排在一负的圣母大学、得克萨斯理工大学和维克森林大学之前；东南联盟共有10支球队进入前25名，其中8支的排名高于其美联社排名，因而出现偏袒东南联盟的质疑。
按照目前的排位，阿拉巴马队仍处于冲击季后赛的有利位置。不过考验马上到来：阿拉巴马队将于本周六客场挑战路易斯安那州立大学，评选委员会的第二份排名将在这些比赛之后出炉。

Alabama Fifth in First College Football Playoff Rankings: Two-Loss Tide Sit Eight Spots Ahead of Tennessee, Drawing Fire
The College Football Playoff selection committee released its first rankings of the 2026 season on November 4, placing the University of Alabama Crimson Tide, based in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, at No. 5. The placement immediately drew controversy: Alabama had lost 26-10 on the road to Tennessee, yet was ranked eight spots ahead of the Volunteers.
Committee chair Hunter Yurachek explained that the committee valued Alabama's 2-2 record against teams in the playoff top 25, better than Tennessee's 1-2, and that the head-to-head result was not the only criterion. Critics noted that three two-loss Southeastern Conference teams - Alabama, Texas and Ole Miss - were all ranked ahead of one-loss Notre Dame, Texas Tech and Wake Forest; 10 SEC teams made the top 25, eight of them ranked higher than in the AP poll, fueling claims of SEC favoritism.
At No. 5, Alabama remains well positioned for a playoff berth. The test comes quickly: the Tide visit LSU on Saturday, and the committee's second rankings will follow those games.
