It wasn’t a lock, but the Alabama Crimson Tide managed to get into the College Football Playoff field and will now have a chance to play for another national title.

Of course, to do that, they’ll need to get past No. 1 Clemson in the Sugar Bowl on New Year’s Day, which won’t be easy.

However, Alabama LB Mack Wilson took to Twitter on Saturday evening to post a picture of coach Nick Saban with the title trophy and say that he and the other Tide players want to make the legendary coach smile like that again:

It was a hotly debated issue last Sunday, but the Crimson Tide are in the Playoff field, and that’s all they wanted.

The road to a title won’t be easy, but at this point, Alabama has as good of a chance as any of the four teams to take home a national championship.

And, if the Tide do bring home the CFP trophy, Saban will certainly be one happy coach.
