Alabama’s Initial Seeding in the College Football Playoff Poll

The Alabama Crimson Tide has just four games left in the regular season, and looks to be in a much better position to make the College Football Playoffs than it was a year ago. The Crimson Tide had two losses on its resume a season ago, and sputtered down the stretch with a loss to Oklahoma in late November. Now, Alabama has just one loss on its record and has just one ranked opponent left on its regular-season schedule, according to the playoff committee rankings.
