Alabama fans have life for the College Football Playoff after Utah defeated USC in the Pac-12 Championship Game.

The Crimson Tide needs TCU to lose to Kansas State in the Big 12 Championship Game to make the playoff. ESPN’s Lee Corso predicted the Wildcats on Saturday in an upset over the Horned Frogs. A convincing victory for Kansas State knocks TCU out of CFP contention. USC’s loss on Friday puts Ohio State back in the driver’s seat for the playoff, despite its embarrassing loss to Michigan at home last week. Corso told his colleague, Kirk Herbstreit, Alabama will get into the playoff as the No. 4 seed.

Tide fans are hoping the 87-year-old is right.
