1. Alabama Crimson Tide

Record: 10-0
Remaning schedule: vs. Chattanooga, vs. No. 15 Auburn

OK, there really aren’t any Playoff implications surrounding the Badgers and Alabama, unless the Crimson Tide somehow fall to both Chattanooga AND Auburn at home. While the former of that equation is more than highly unlikely, if the Tide were to lose to Auburn in the Iron Bowl, they would probably still maintain the number one ranking at the time being and at the least a Playoff spot.

The only way Alabama would be even considered falling out of the top four is if they lose two of their last three games, which come on…that is not happening.
