Could Alabama jump into the top four and earn a bye in the first round of the College Football Playoff if it beats Georgia on Saturday?
Alabama very likely secured its spot in the College Football Playoff after beating Auburn in the Iron Bowl. The committee moved Alabama up one spot from No. 10 to No. 9, leapfrogging Notre Dame and making it unlikely that the Crimson Tide would drop out of the playoff with a loss to Georgia in Saturday's SEC Championship Game.
