We have been saying for a few weeks how highly the CFB Selection Committee values the SEC. Alabama football is benefitting from that high value more as the season winds down. The Alabama Crimson Tide is in such a strong position only a double-digit loss in the SEC Championship game could bump the Tide from the final four.
Alabama football fans should note the opinion voiced above extends well beyond the Crimson Tide fan base. Knowledgeable college football experts argue the fans of Oklahoma and Ohio State should pull for the Tide on Saturday. The supposition is a Georgia loss will allow one of those teams into the final four while an Alabama football loss will not.
