Alabama was 5-0 going into its October 10, 2026 home game against Georgia, which it lost 20-17, so the 'undefeated' part came true. The 'really tight ballgame' part did not: Alabama's five wins were 48-10, 45-17, 50-36, 49-18 and 56-23, and the closest margin was 14 points against Florida State, even though Alabama had trailed in that game by 15.
