Alabama football bowl projections: Can Crimson Tide still make College Football Playoff?

College Football Playoff hopes seem to be still alive for Alabama football.

Despite losses to Vanderbilt and Tennessee, the Crimson Tide have a 53% chance of making the CFP per ESPN’s Playoff Predictor, better than all but 11 teams in college football, and fourth-best in the SEC behind Georgia (85%), Texas (75%) and Tennessee (68%).

With four games left against LSU, Mercer, Oklahoma and Auburn, the Crimson Tide‘s CFP chances nearly evaporate with a loss

And according to most bowl projections heading into Week 10 of the season, the Crimson Tide will be on the outside looking in during the first 12-team CFP.
