Alabama is out of the College Football Playoff race, even with its victory over Ole Miss and its rise to No. 8 in the latest AP Top 25 College Football Poll.
The Crimson Tide had been No. 10 when it beat No. 11 Ole Miss on Saturday, but all that did was clinch the SEC West for No. 7 LSU, which beat Arkansas earlier Saturday to eliminate Alabama.
No. 6 Oregon , led by former Auburn quarterback Bo Nix, also saw its playoff hopes coming crashing down in a frantic and frustrating final four minutes against No. 24 Washington, the first of two Pac-12 upsets Saturday night. The last time Alabama entered the home stretch of a season truly eliminated from the national championship race was 2010.
It’s fair to wonder, though, if Young, linebacker Will Anderson Jr. and some of the other Alabama stars will even play in the postseason with the first round of the next NFL draft calling.
