TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Nick Saban wasn't sure who had won or who had lost around the country right after Alabama's 49-27 rout of Auburn on Saturday, but he is sure that his team at least deserves consideration for one of the four sports in the College Football Playoff.
The Crimson Tide, who've been to every College Football Playoff but one since its inception in 2014, would be the first two-loss team to make the playoff and would clearly need some help to get there.
"I don't make those decisions, but I know what a resilient football team this has been," Saban told ESPN.
