Alabama has a slim chance to play for a Southeastern Conference Championship, but the College Football Playoff opportunity is gone.
The season has been disappointing and frustrating for the Crimson Tide, but Nick Saban said there is still pride in the organization. Big names in national media are dusting off “the dynasty is dead” narrative and putting it back out there.
Coach Saban is focused on the team improving, and Tide players want to assure each other there remains a lot to play for. Some may feel that if Alabama is not playing for an SEC Championship or a CFP National Championship, then what is the purpose of competing.
