Alabama Crimson Tide fans won’t want to miss this week’s updated College Football Playoff rankings reveal.
As expected, Alabama football won its annual “FCS Week” game against Mercer — though it did come against a Bears team that is ranked No. 9 in the latest FCS Coaches Poll.
Moreover, two teams ranked ahead of the Crimson Tide in last week’s CFP rankings lost over the weekend. The BYU Cougars fell 17-13 in an upset loss to the Kansas Jayhawks, and the Tennessee Volunteers lost 31-17 to the Georgia Bulldogs.
Alabama (8-2) stands to benefit from those teams’ losses in both the actual CFP rankings as well as in terms of seeding. Last week, the selection committee’s seeding would have had the Crimson Tide taking on the Indiana Hoosiers in a first-round game in Bloomington.
Here is how you can watch the latest College Football Playoff rankings show Tuesday night.
