When CFP rankings are released, what to know for Alabama football

Alabama football will soon learn its place in the latest CFP rankings, and we’ll get a look at the 12-team playoff bracket as it stands now.

Over the past couple of weeks, the Alabama Crimson Tide have simply done everything that they needed to do when it comes to keeping their hopes for the College Football Playoff alive, and that is to win.

Well, that is exactly what Alabama did this past Saturday with a 52-7 victory over the Mercer Bears, and as a result, will likely see their ranking rise once again.

So, before we find out just where Alabama sits now, let’s take a look at when the latest College Football Playoff rankings will be released this upcoming Tuesday night, as well as how you can watch:

With the Crimson Tide continuing their winning ways, as well as the fact that some teams above Alabama lost Saturday, the program should be in for a rise once again Tuesday night. Currently ranked as the No. 10 team, as well as the No. 10 seed, I’ll say that Alabama will come in at either No. 7 or No. 8 in the latest rankings’ release.
