Alabama fans react to CFP Committee not moving Crimson Tide up in rankings

Alabama has been stuck at No. 8 in the College Football Playoff rankings since they first debuted this season.

Some believe the Crimson Tide won’t make the CFP even with an SEC Championship victory over Georgia. Others, however, feel Alabama will get in if it takes care of the Bulldogs. Nick Saban’s team emerged from Jordan-Hare Stadium last week with a 27-24 victory in the Iron Bowl. Alabama did not have its best performance, but Jalen Milroe found Isaiah Bond when it mattered in the left corner of the end zone for a 31-yard touchdown. The play happened on fourth down with 31 yards to go in the fourth quarter.
