Alabama rises to No. 2 in the latest AP top-25 after narrowly defeating LSU in a rather unexpected nail-biter of a game in Tuscaloosa. Now, with three game remaining in the regular season, the one-loss Crimson Tide team looks to keep the top-four spot currently held in the College Football Playoff rankings.
FiveThirtyEight, a data firm, reveals the updated 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 36% chance to win the SEC title, a 53% chance to make the playoff and a 19% chance to win the national championship.
The numbers have slightly changed from the previous findings last week, with some showing higher chances, others showing lower.
