Leaving your fate in the hands of the College Football Playoff committee - a group that has proven to utilize inconsistent metrics when comparing teams - would be a foolish endeavor.
Alabama is aiming to ensure the decision is out of the committee's hands. A Crimson Tide win over Georgia in Saturday's SEC Championship Game would clinch an automatic berth into the College Football Playoff and provide an anxiety-free Sunday for the program and its fans.
Last year, Alabama left its fate up to the committee and ended up being the first team left out of the playoff.
