Watch the rankings this Tuesday. If Miami is ahead of Bama, then Bama is not going to the playoff. If Bama is ahead of Miami, they probably are.
I say that because Oregon, Penn State, Ohio State, Indiana, Notre Dame, Texas, Georgia, Tennessee, the Big 12 champ, the ACC champ, and the G5 champ are all in ahead of Bama. That's 11 teams.
For that 12th spot, it's Miami vs Bama. If Miami is ahead of Bama this Tuesday, the Tide won't jump them in the final rankings because neither team plays again.
