Alabama's Playoff Hopes Hang in Balance
•
Alabamas football season, under coach Kalen DeBoer, has been strong, but their recent loss to Georgia in the SEC Championship game has put their College Football Playoff hopes in serious doubt. The Crimson Tide fell to the Bulldogs by a score of twenty-eight to seven, which means their path to the playoffs is now much less clear. If they dont make the playoffs, several bowl games are possibilities for their postseason appearance, including the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl, the ReliaQuest Bowl, the Dukes Mayo Bowl, or the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl. However, some of these options are less likely due to recent history. Alabama is now competing with other strong teams like Notre Dame and Miami, and possibly even Texas, for those coveted wild card spots in the playoffs. The final decision on who makes the College Football Playoff will be announced during the selection show on December seventh.
