Alabama is in a perfect position to make the college football playoffs after its big win against LSU two weeks ago. It will head to Oklahoma this Saturday to see the Sooners for the first time in SEC play.

The Crimson Tide are a win over Oklahoma and Auburn away from locking up a playoff spot, and even though meaningful football will be played in Tuscaloosa this winter, one player has already left the program.
According to On3.com, Pete Nakos linebacker Keanu Koht plans to enter the NCAA transfer portal.

Koht was a five-star recruit in the 2021 recruiting class but has only seen 14 games played in the last three years, appearing in seven games this season and recording five total tackles.
Since former head coach Nick Saban left this offseason, many players he brought in have left the program, and now Koht is another one of those players to move on.
Kalen DeBoer is building a real winner in Tuscaloosa, so there is no need to worry that one of the five-star players has already entered the portal with a few games left to play.
Over the next few weeks, many more players from other top playoff teams will enter the portal to prepare for the winter portal opening in early December.
Alabama has everything still ahead of them this season, so let’s see if DeBoer can take the Crimson Tide to the title in his first season as the head coach.
