When it comes to potentially making the College Football Playoff, it’s now fully wait-and-see mode for the Alabama Crimson Tide.
At 9-3 overall, as well as 5-3 in conference play, Alabama did not make the SEC Championship Game this season, which means that the regular season has now come to an end for the Crimson Tide.
Because of this, it means that Alabama will not have another opportunity to impress the College Football Playoff committee, meaning that the Crimson Tide’s current resume is what will determine if they make the CFP or not.
Is it enough however? Well, some analysts across college football voiced their thoughts Saturday and Sunday, especially after the results Saturday that included both Clemson and Miami losing in front of Alabama in the CFP rankings.
The latest of that group was USA TODAY Sports’ Blake Toppmeyer, who gave his thoughts on Alabama’s CFP potential chances Sunday afternoon.
While obviously the Crimson Tide cannot improve their resume with no games remaining before the bracket is officially revealed, it’s clear that when compared to some of the other bubble teams, Alabama might just have the advantage resume-wise.
Will wins over the likes of Georgia and South Carolina end up putting the Crimson Tide in the College Football Playoff? Time will only tell.
