The biggest factor in the College Football Playoffs is the health of Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
The Heisman Trophy finalist has proved his value throughout the season, as he has given Alabama a sophisticated and high-powered passing attack to go along with the hard-hitting defense and power running game they have been known for over the years.
Alabama head coach Nick Saban is hopeful that Tagovailoa will be in the lineup when the Crimson Tide meets Oklahoma in the national semifinal game. Tagovailoa suffered an ankle injury in the SEC title game against Georgia, and he underwent a procedure that will take about two weeks to recover.
