Nick Saban Says Alabama Doesn't Control Its CFP Destiny After Loss to LSU

No. 3 Alabama lost to No. 2 LSU 46-41 on Saturday in Tuscaloosa, and after the game, Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban told reporters he doesn't believe his team controls its destiny for a College Football Playoff spot.

"I think everybody's got to make a commitment to finish the season the right way," Saban said, per Mike Rodak of AL.com. "We don't control our own destiny."

FiveThirtyEight updated its playoff projections after Alabama's loss, with the Crimson Tide being given just a 12 percent chance to make the four-team field.
