We’re one week away from knowing which four teams will make the 2016-17 College Football Playoff.
One of those teams, however, is probably locked in as the No. 1 seed no matter the outcome of championship weekend: Alabama.
The Crimson Tide (12-0, 8-0) enter the SEC Championship Game against Florida (8-3, 5-3) as overwhelming favorites, having won 24 straight games dating back to last season — 14 of them coming against ranked competition.
Is there really anyone out there that can prevent Nick Saban from winning his sixth national title?
Michigan radio analyst Dan Dierdorf doesn’t think so:

Alabama hasn’t allowed a single touchdown in the month of November and has beaten SEC opponents by an average of 23.3 points in 2016.
The Tide will continue its pursuit of perfection on Saturday in Atlanta at 4 p.m. ET on CBS.
