The Crimson Tide is the current betting favorite to make the College Football Playoffs among the other at-large teams before Tuesday night's rankings reveal.
On Monday, Greg Byrne, the athletic director at the University of Alabama, joined the playoff discussion, outlining several compelling reasons why he believes Alabama should be included in the 12-team playoff.
The Crimson Tide start their season 9-0 for the first time since the 2000-2001 season. Additionally, they have moved into the No.19 spot in the latest AP Top 25 Poll.
