On a sad Sunday for Alabama Crimson Tide fans, the CFB Playoff situation is in disarray. Making it worse is that the team most at fault for the muddled circumstances is not Oklahoma, but Alabama. No discredit to the Sooners, but Alabama mostly beat itself to drop to 8-2.
After Week 12 games, the SEC is in a position to possibly have five playoff teams. Using ESPN's FPI, Alabama has the SEC's fourth-highest probability at 83.9%. Texas A&M is at 99.8%, Georgia is at 99%, and Ole Miss is at 89%. The Sooners are lower than the Crimson Tide at 49.
