The Alabama Crimson Tide lost to the Georgia Bulldogs in the SEC Conference Championship Game 28-7 on Saturday night. When a lot of people saw that Alabama got crushed against Georgia, many believed that the 10-3 record for the Crimson Tide was going to knock them out of the college football playoffs.

Well, when the bracket was released on Sunday, Alabama was shockingly in the field, and they were the number nine seed. The Crimson Tide will head on the road and have a rematch with #8 Oklahoma Sooners. It was not a shock to see the #10 Miami Hurricanes in the playoff field with a 10-2 record. Many felt like the 10-2 Notre Dame Fighting Irish were more deserving of a spot than Alabama was.
