2024 College Football Playoff Shakeup: Which Surprising Teams Could Crash the 12-Team Field?
While I think the committee will do everything it can to include a 10-2 Bama, it won’t be able to justify that against a Tennessee team with the same record and a win over the Tide. It is possible, after last year’s dismal decision to bounce unbeaten Florida State in favor of 12-1 Alabama, that the committee finds a way to get Bama into the field this year.
But in the scenarios contemplated here, that would be more likely to come at the expense of an 11-1 Indiana than a 10-2 Tennessee.
11. Alabama (7-2)
- Current committee rank: 10th
- TRACR: 34.2 (No. 4)
- Playoff potential: 97.4 (No. 5)
Alabama is poised to finish 10-2, with the same record as an Ole Miss team that isn’t on its schedule this year. The committee can’t put a 10-2 Bama over a 10-2 Tennessee, but it can over Ole Miss, and it appears slightly favored to do so based on ranking Alabama No. 10 and Ole Miss No. 11 this week.
