Here are Knox News' staff predictions for Tennessee- Alabama:

Alabama ranks 49th in tackling grade per PFF and in the Bottom 25% nationally in explosive runs allowed. Bishop tends to force missed tackles and averaged over 4.5 yards after contact against both Mississippi State and Arkansas.

Former Alabama Crimson Tide running back Damien Harris explained why he believes his old squad doesn't care about whether the team is feared on Saturdays.

Kalen DeBoer and the Alabama Crimson Tide have offered 2026 receiver Jahsiear Rogers, who recently decommitted from Penn State.

Harris calls Simpson's talent level "phenomenal." Simpson is considered one of the top-rated quarterback prospects if he opts to enter the draft next year. Although Alabama and Tennessee are only five spots apart in the rankings, the Crimson Tide are huge favorites at 12.5 points.

Alabama has won five straight after a rocky start, but David Pollack says injuries and pass protection issues could hold them back as they face Tennessee in Week 8. Week 8 of the 2025 college football season is here, and there may not be a hotter team in the sport than the No. 6 Alabama Crimson Tide.

Numerous former Alabama standouts shined during Week 6 of the NFL regular season. Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young, Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs and Arizona Cardinals linebacker Mack Wilson Sr. were among the best Crimson Tide products this past Sunday.

Alabama Crimson Tide RB Jam Miller has been listed as questionable for Saturday's showdown against the Tennessee Volunteers.
