Where Did Alabama Land in Latest CFP Rankings?

The Alabama Crimson Tide were able to take down the LSU Tigers on the road this past week, earning a massive win in the process.

Alabama moved to 7-2 on the year, while knocking down its SEC rival in terms of College Football Playoff positioning. The win over the Tigers on the road was massive for the Crimson Tide, giving this team a leg up in the race for the playoff.

After a close first half against LSU, Alabama blew the game open, giving themselves the win. Heading into the final three weeks of the season, the Crimson Tide have to be feeling good about where they stand.

In the latest ranking for the College Football Playoff, Alabama was ranked at No. 5 following the win over LSU. The committee has shown that they have faith in the Crimson Tide, and the victory on the road this week only helped them.

Alabama still has games against Vanderbilt on the road, before two games at home against Chattanooga and Auburn. The Crimson Tide will be favored in each game left on the schedule, giving this team a good chance to get into the playoff.

The game against Auburn will likely be the toughest remaining, especially with it being a rivalry game. Both Alabama and Auburn always play each other well, even if the two teams are nowhere close in the standings.

For the Crimson Tide to keep winning this season, quarterback Keelon Russell is going to have to stay the course. Against LSU, Russell threw for 206 yards and three scores to lead his team to a win.

For the year, Russell has thrown for 2,263 yards with 18 touchdowns and five interceptions through the air. But on the ground, Russell has also contributed, rushing for 276 yards and five touchdowns.

Russell has been everything that the Crimson Tide have asked for this season, he will need to keep going. Coming into the season, there were a lot of questions around Russell being the stater, mainly due to his lack of experience.

But Russell has proven himself this season, and the Crimson Tide have full faith in him to lead them forward. For Alabama to reach their goal of winning a title, Russell is going to have to keep the offense going strong.

However, the Crimson Tide are in a very good spot right now, and this team seems to be clicking at the right time.
