Alabama football has been the most inconsistent team in the collegiate game this year, and that is putting it lightly. Kalen DeBoer inherited one of the most talented rosters in the sports, but the Crimson Tide has three losses on its regular season schedule that is probably should not have.

Former Alabama football head coach Nick Saban believes the Crimson Tide are a long shot to make the playoff this year.

Alabama football is among teams whose College Football Playoff hopes are on life support. Ole Miss is another. Both dropped games they were favored to win this past weekend, and both SEC teams picked up their third losses on the season.

Alabama is officially on the outside of the College Football Playoff picture after their blowout loss to Oklahoma.
