Beating Auburn on Saturday didn't get Alabama closer to a College Football Playoff bid thanks to a lack of chaos everywhere else.
Alabama didn't get any closer to a College Football Playoff berth, at least in terms of ESPN's playoff probabilities, after winning the Iron Bowl.
Alabama escaped Jordan-Hare Stadium on Saturday with a 27-20 win. It was a win that clinched the Crimson Tide's place in the SEC Championship Game against Georgia, but Alabama's odds of making the College Football Playoff actually decreased in the aftermath of the Iron Bowl.
