On Tuesday, the College Football Playoff committee unveiled its latest installment of rankings and while it moved Ohio State to No. 1, Alabama remains on the outside looking in.
The Crimson Tide have a huge rivalry game versus Auburn and one that will go a long way into the program getting into the playoff. It still may need some help from Utah – prior to conference championship week – however, Alabama will control what it can handle.
Before the rankings came out, there could have been a serious discussion as to whether the committee should flip Georgia and the Tide.
