The Alabama Crimson Tide have made their final case to the committee.
The Tide took care of business Saturday in the Iron Bowl, defeating Auburn 28-14 to finish the regular season 9-3
Alabama produced 457 total yards and possessed the ball for 36:35 and went an efficient 12-of-18 on third down. They also forced two crucial turnovers in the fourth quarter.
Naturally, tensions were high between the two rivals and a fight even broke out during play.
Quarterback Jalen Milroe had a dominant day, going 18-of-24 for 256 yards with an interception but adding 104 yards and three touchdowns on 17 carries.

The Crimson Tide will not be in the SEC Championship and will hope for some chaos to get them over the hump. They entered this week ranked No. 13 and a losses for Miami and Clemson this week should help Alabama’s chances.
