The description of the Alabama Crimson Tide as "not a great team yet" comes from al.com's Kevin Scarbinsky. Scarbinsky nailed it in his opinion piece. Alabama has shown plenty of potential greatness. It has also shown weaknesses that could block a championship path.
With a week to go before the first CFB Playoff Selection Committee rankings, the Crimson Tide is a solid contender for the 12-team field. Before seeing the first of seven rankings, the attention of Alabama fans can shift to Playoff seeding.
After escaping a now 5-loss team on Saturday, it may feel ironic for Alabama fans to turn attention to a possible National Championship.
