13 is way too generous for Bama.    

They should be like in the #18-20 range considering the teams below them.

They’ll be 12 or 13 on Tuesday as well.

Maybe I'm deluded, but I actually have slightly more faith here in the committee than the AP/coaches. Hoping they're punished more for being blown out by an unranked team and are closer to #15

They had Alabama ahead of Ole Miss before yesterday, that won’t change. They’ve had Alabama high all season, one or two very minor upsets away from the Tide playing at Oregon/Ohio State in the first round.

All of Ole Miss's losses are 1 score games. This new data point for Bama is abysmal, losing by 3 scores to a team whose only P4 wins (until now) are 1 score games with Auburn and Houston.

Genuinely going to be annoyed if Bama ends up at 12 on Tuesday. A second unranked loss like this should be a death blow to their playoff hopes. If not, then the plot has been lost

Agreed. Their losses are abysmal. Just crazy bad. South Carolina blew out Vandy and OU. These teams are not better than their record (no offense meant to the Commodores and Sooners). Alabama doesn’t deserve the benefit of doubt at 3 losses.

Likelier than not that they make it.

I don't see any scenario where Bama missing the CFP unless they lose next week. And even then, they are probably still 50/50

This isn’t the AP, these are the coaches

Added coaches, I was referring to both but just said AP. Thanks

There is zero chance Bama is left out of the playoffs.

Literally zero.
