Jerry Palm’s latest bowl projections bumped the Crimson Tide out of the CFP and into Orlando, facing Illinois on Dec. 31. That’s a Big Ten vs. SEC bowl. The Citrus Bowl will decade which SEC team it wants, and Alabama and South Carolina figure to be top of the list

The Crimson Tide secured its first three-loss season since 2010 with a 24-3 loss at Oklahoma Saturday, one that keeps Alabama out of the SEC championship, and likely keeps it out of the College Football Playoff. With the loss to the Sooners, Alabama could face its second non-CFP bowl appearance in the past three years.

This week's college football rankings could look a lot different as No. 7 Alabama's loss to Oklahoma put the finishing touches on a wild day in college football.
