Alabama Crimson Tide holds on to No. 5 in Playoff ranking … and more

Three rankings down and three more to go, the Alabama Crimson Tide held firm Tuesday night, at No. 5. All the changes in the latest Selection Committee rankings were at No. 8 and below.

Alabama Crimson Tide fans, knowing well the Alabama football fatigue nationally, had been worried the Committee would punish the Tide because of Tua’s injury. Selection Committee Chair, Rob Mullens said, ” Bama continued on to a convincing win so it (Tua’s injury) didn’t impact the rankings this week.”

Will Tua’s injury ever become a reason the Alabama Crimson Tide fails to make the final four this season?
