Having already owned three losses so far this season, it was no secret that the Alabama Crimson Tide had to win Saturday night against the Auburn Tigers to keep their College Football Playoff hopes alive.
Not only did Alabama need to do that to keep their hopes alive, but also the Crimson Tide had to have a few results happen elsewhere to improve those chances, which is exactly what happened when both Clemson and Miami went down with losses.
After the Crimson Tide’s win as well, where does Alabama’s CFP chances sit now with only championship week left to go?
According to ESPN’s Football Power Index (FPI), Alabama currently has a 30.1% chance to make the College Football Playoff as of Sunday, Dec. 1. In addition to that, ESPN’s FPI also kept Alabama in the No. 4 spot nationally.
The Crimson Tide will officially find out their latest standing when the CFP rankings are released Tuesday night.
