What is Alabama football path to 2025 SEC championship? What metrics show

ESPN's College Football Power Index gives Alabama football a fighting chance at an SEC title. The Crimson Tide has the third-best FPI, the fourth-best chance to make the College Football Playoff and the third-best chance to win a national championship. And the odds are just as good for Alabama to secure its 35th SEC title. Advertisement Alabama, per the FPI metrics, has a 17.2% chance of winning the SEC in 2025 behind Texas (34.1%) and Georgia (26.9%). With the 10th-toughest schedule in college football, what could be Alabama's path to an SEC title? Here are three things Crimson Tide fans should watch out for based on ESPN's FPI rankings: Alabama could enter SEC championship with two losses Texas and Georgia, the two teams with the best chances of reaching the SEC championship game, are projected to finish the regular season — including a possible conference title game — with two losses. The Bulldogs, which won the SEC championship in 2024, did so with regular-season losses to the Crimson Tide and Ole Miss. Advertisement ESPN's FPI rankings project Alabama to finish the 2025 regular season with 2.8 losses, slightly more than the Longhorns (2.1) and Georgia (2.3). SEC championship teams shouldn't be expected to arrive in Atlanta without a scratch. Alabama at Georgia could be turning point in SEC championship race Just like 2024, the storyline surrounding Alabama's opening SEC game against Georgia will likely be its SEC championship implications. Head-to-head against the Bulldogs could play a big factor in who reaches the SEC title game. And while both Alabama and Georgia each have long conference schedules after facing off — something the Crimson Tide knows well — the trajectory of each team in 2025 could be decided in Athens. Alabama football month-long stretch may decide SEC championship hopes Alabama vs. Georgia may put the Crimson Tide on its SEC championship trajectory. But one five-week stretch will definitively set Alabama's path toward or away from Atlanta. Advertisement After starting its conference schedule at Georgia, vs. Vanderbilt and at Missouri, Alabama will face a four-game stretch against teams ranked in the top-16 in FPI: Tennessee, South Carolina, LSU and Oklahoma. Even if Alabama falls to Georgia, or loses to Vanderbilt or Missouri, one single loss will not change the importance of the Crimson Tide's Oct. 18-to-Nov. 15 stretch, one that will define Alabama as either an SEC championship game favorite, or a team that is fighting for its College Football Playoff life.

German minister notes 'harsh tone' in US ahead of Merz-Trump meeting

German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul has called for the preservation of the well-established US-German relations ahead of Chancellor Friedrich Merz's meeting with US President Donald Trump. "Yes, the tone hasn't been as harsh as this for a long time," Wadephul said in the evening at a meeting of former Arthur F Burns Fellowship scholars in Berlin. He diagnosed "profound changes in the US itself with an unknown outcome" and a new style of interaction following the Trump administration's inauguration, "which is unsettling and also disconcerting." However, the conservative politician stressed that one must "not panic." "Instead, we must endure this storm phase by first focusing on our own interests." This also means that Germany must strengthen its defence capabilities, safeguard its trade interests, and "articulate [its] understanding of freedom of expression and academic freedom." Wadephul, who visited the US capital Washington last week, assessed the talks with his US counterpart Marco Rubio as a positive signal: "They have made me confident that we can reach agreements in mutual interest even on issues where we have differences of opinion." Difficult talks for Merz Merz is travelling to the United States on Wednesday and is due to speak with Trump at the White House on Thursday. During the election campaign, the chancellor sharply criticized the US government's interference in German domestic politics. Currently, Trump's threat of permanently high tariffs on EU goods is also straining the relationship. With regard to the Ukraine war, Merz, along with other European leaders, is striving for a common stance with the US towards Russia. There is anticipation as to whether Merz will have to contend with a similarly unfriendly reception at the White House as, for example, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Wadephul stresses US support Wadephul emphasized that the US had repeatedly supported Germany after liberation from Nazi rule during reconstruction and also during reunification. "We should and will never forget that." The Arthur F Burns Fellowship is a trans-Atlantic exchange programme for journalists, named after a former US Federal Reserve chairman and ambassador to Germany.
