It’s a rematch for the Crimson Tide and Sooners in the first round of the College Football Playoff. This time, it’s in Norman, OK.

Where are the Alabama Crimson Tide ranked in the final US LBM Coaches Poll ahead of the College Football Playoff? Here are the full top 25 rankings.

No. 3 Georgia has solidified its position for a first-round bye in the College Football Playoff and beaten Alabama in the Southeastern Conference championship game for the first time.

Alabama football was already down significantly in the SEC championship game. Adding injury to insult though, the Crimson Tide will be without a starting defensive back the rest of the way. Zabien Brown will likely miss the remainder of a game with an injury, according to the ESPN broadcast. Brown is a starting cornerback for Alabama.

Alabama goes in at No. 9. Same as they were ranked before the game. In ranking Georgia and Alabama this way, the committee declared the SEC championship game a glorified exhibition. The late commissioner Roy Kramer’s revolutionary brainchild of a conference championship game has never been more meaningless than it became this weekend.
