Unfortunately, I don't think that'll matter to the playoff committee because Washington, Michigan, and Florida State are all undefeated and Texas beat Alabama in the regular season.
Regardless, I enjoy booting Georgia out of the national championship hunt, and Alabama is the champion of the SEC.
After Georgia's initial drive, I was concerned because they marched right down the field. Then the defense got it together.
The pass to Jam Miller for a touchdown was beautiful.
Roydell Williams did well as the lead back with McClellan out with a foot injury.
We probably won't win the mythical national championship, but the coaching job by the staff this season is admirable.
Alabama is likely to have four guys go in the first round of the NFL Draft - Latham, Turner, Arnold, and McKinstry - but I expect the Tide to be part the expanded, 12-team playoff next season if all goes well. Milroe is going to grow even better I suspect, and the OC will develop game plans to take advantage of his talent.
Roll Tide.
Since Alabama is not in the national playoff hunt, I'll start growing my beard of mourning.
Addendum: My son informed me this morning that Alabama made the playoffs and will face Michigan in the Rose Bowl.
I'm very surprised, but I look forward to the twelve-team playoff starting next season.
