College Football 26 Foresees Tennessee's Upset Victory Over Alabama
17 Oct
Summary
- College Football 26 simulation predicts Tennessee to defeat Alabama 21-9
- Offenses of both teams expected to struggle, with QBs Ty Simpson and Joey Aguilar having off nights
- Jam Miller projected to have a big game, rushing for nearly 200 yards and a score

On Saturday, October 18th, 2025, the Alabama Crimson Tide will host the Tennessee Volunteers in one of college football's top rivalry matchups, "The Third Saturday in October." According to a simulation run by the EA Sports College Football 26 video game, the Volunteers are predicted to pull off an upset victory over the Crimson Tide, winning by a score of 21-9.
The simulation forecasts a down performance from both teams' high-powered offenses, as well as struggles for the starting quarterbacks, Ty Simpson of Tennessee and Joey Aguilar of Alabama, in the passing game. However, the video game does project Volunteers running back Jam Miller to enjoy a big game, rushing for nearly 200 yards and a touchdown.
This prediction comes as a surprise, as Alabama has been dominant in recent years and is widely expected to contend for a national championship this season. The Crimson Tide's loss to Tennessee would be a significant setback in their quest for a playoff berth.
