Not Even Santa Can Help Alabama Now

Is the College Football Playoff really the College Football Playoff is Alabama isn't involved? We ponder that question, as well as go over the inaugural 12-team CFP field, give our thoughts on the teams involved and where they're seeded, the first round matchups and potential matchups down the road, who got a good draw (Georgia) and who got the shaft (Oregon, Tennessee... and Notre Dame?), and a whole lot of other playoff this and that. Then we look back at our preseason predictions and see how we did, which, surprisingly, wasn't half-bad.We also cover a good week for Bama hoops and SEC basketball as a whole, have a quick NFL chat, and some other stuff.Want some Takin’ On Sports merch?
