2024 Alabama vs. Vanderbilt football game

The 2024 Alabama vs. Vanderbilt football game was a regular season college football game between the Vanderbilt Commodores and Alabama Crimson Tide, played at FirstBank Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee, on October 5, 2024. Going into the game, the undefeated 4–0 Crimson Tide was ranked No. 1 in the AP Top 25 poll following a win against the then No. 2 ranked Georgia Bulldogs, and led Vanderbilt 63–18–4 in their series. At the game's conclusion, it was immediately hailed by media outlets and fans as one of the sport's biggest upsets in recent history due to it representing Vanderbilt's first victory against Alabama in 40 years, drawing comparisons to prior upsets such as the 2007 Appalachian State vs. Michigan game.

The significance of the upset was represented by the victory being Vanderbilt's first win over an AP top-ranked football program in its history, the breaking of its 23-game losing streak against Alabama beginning in 1984, and winning its first game against an Associated Press-ranked top-5 opponent to break a 60-game losing streak, the longest of any team since the beginning of the AP poll era in 1936. The game also marked the first time since 1996 that Alabama gave up more than 20 points in a single game to Vanderbilt, with the 40 points they gave up being the most against Vanderbilt since 1906.

Due to these factors, several news outlets and publications declared the game "historic", and called it the biggest and most significant in the history of Vanderbilt's football program, as well as one of the biggest, if not the biggest, upsets in Southeastern Conference (SEC) and in overall college football history.
