The Alabama Crimson Tide are no longer the top-ranked team in the nation following a devastating loss on the road to an unranked Texas A&M team. Now, the Crimson Tide are on the outside looking in with regards to the College Football Playoff as the No. 5 ranked team.
FiveThirtyEight, a data firm, reveals the statistical likelihood of Alabama making their way back into the top-four to make the playoff and compete for national championship No. 19.
According to the numbers, Nick Saban and Alabama have a 29% chance to win the SEC title, a 40% chance to make the playoff and a 15% chance to win the national championship.
Alabama has the third highest chance to make the playoff, but the second-best chance to win the national title.
