The Alabama Crimson Tide's College Football Playoff credentials can no longer be questioned. Instead, the only remaining query should focus on where the Crimson Tide will rank among the CFP semifinalists following Saturday's 29-15SEC Championship Game win over the No. 18 Florida Gators.
According to CBS Sports' Jon Solomon, No. 2 Alabama became the first team since the Tennessee Volunteers in 1998 to repeat as the SEC champion.
Although it wasn't always pretty, Alabama's offense uncovered enough continuity to solve a stingy Florida defense. Derrick Henry rushed 44times for 189yards and atouchdown, setting the SEC's single-season record for rushing yards in the process, per ESPN.
