Nick Saban hopeful of a CFP spot

The college football chaos is in full swing after Alabama upset Georgia in the Southeastern Conference championship, throwing a curveball to the College Football Playoff committee. Coach Nick Saban now seems optimistic more than ever about securing a spot in the final four.

"We did our part. We did what we had to do to have the chance," Saban said.

The Crimson Tide's victory over the top-ranked team has bolstered their case for a playoff berth. Saban acknowledges the significance of winning the SEC championship and defeating the nation's No. 1 team.

Alabama’s loss to the Texas Longhorns earlier in the season, who are now a one-loss Big 12 champion and ranked No. 7, seems less detrimental in hindsight.

"We won the SEC. We beat the No. 1 team in the country," Saban said. "If we needed to do something to pass the eye test, I guess that probably contributed to it significantly."

There’s added suspense to the playoff picture now as teams like No. 7 Texas and No. 4 Florida State are also vying for a spot. Alabama Crimson Tide seems to be on the doorstep of a playoff return after missing out last season. It’s all up to the playoffs selection committee now.
