Alabama press release from December on Graduation Success Rates:

 It marks the 15th year in a row that the Tide football squad has ranked in the top four in the SEC by GSR

Explanation from the NCAA site of what GSR represents:

 This rate was designed to approximate a true
student-centered measure of graduation (the student graduated from any fouryear college within the six-year window) by essentially passing likely transfers
from one college’s cohort to another’s cohort. GSR calculations also deal better
with circumstances such as mid-year college entry (such entrants are not
included in the FGR).

Alabama's GSR for the 2016 cohort (most recent) was 93 percent, certainly below Stanford's GSR of 96 percent, but not very far off.

And while some believe the GSR is incredibly flawed because transfers out never count against the school they leave, Alabama was second in the SEC, behind only Vanderbilt's 95 percent GSR. Alabama's GSR truly shines compared to Georgia's godawful 41 percent.
