Data analysts reveal Alabama’s statistical chance to make CFP

The numbers have been ran. Here’s what the math says on the Crimson Tide’s CFP hopes.

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.
