* Current roster: Quarterback Jalen Milroe, a standout freshman last season, looks set to break out in his sophomore year.

* Offseason buzz: The Crimson Tide's vaunted defense will have to contend with depleted numbers and losses at linebacker, but Nick Saban's mastery of recruitment has him positioned well for standard-issue Alabama crisis management.

TCU Horned Frogs (Projected Consensus Rank 2025: No. 4)
