To keep it simple, Saturday night’s road loss to the Oklahoma Sooners was devastating for the Alabama Crimson Tide’s chances to making the College Football Playoff.
Not only were the Crimson Tide on track to make it to Atlanta for the SEC Championship Game with a win, but Alabama would’ve only strengthened their CFP chances in the process. However, things did not go as many had thought, with Alabama picking up their third loss of the season that could become costly when all is said and done.
So, coming out of this defeat, just where will Alabama now be ranked going into the Iron Bowl? Let’s take a look at when the latest College Football Playoff rankings are set to be released.
