Alabama ranked No. 1 in College Football Playoff resume rankings
Summary

As of November 12, Alabama holds the top position in the College Football Playoff resume rankings. The Crimson Tide's current resume score is 2.70, bolstered by a notable win at No. 6 LSU. However, Alabama's remaining schedule includes relatively easy opponents, which could limit its ability to enhance its standing. Other SEC teams, including Kentucky, Utah, and Georgia, are positioned to improve their own resumes in the coming weeks, putting pressure on Alabama's grip on the No. 1 spot. Alabama recently ranked No. 3 in the official CFP Rankings and will face No. 70 Vanderbilt, Chattanooga, and No. 38 Auburn in its final games.
