Alabama's path through the College Football Playoff could drastically change by moving up from the No. 4 seed, where the Crimson Tide are currently stuck as the highest-ranked one-loss team.
Let’s start here, there’s a long way to go in the college football season. Alabama hosts No. 11 Oklahoma in Week 12 at Bryant-Denny Stadium, then has the Iron Bowl in the final week of the year, which is hardly ever easy. That’s not to mention all the other machinations across the country that could change the College Football Playoff seeding before the 12-team playoff begins in December.
