The Crimson Tide still controls its destiny to return to the final four.
Tuesday night, the Tide remained No. 2 behind No. 1 Clemson — just like the previous three polls.

Its playoff hopes rest on Saturday’s SEC Championship Game against Florida. Win that, then the Crimson Tide can fret about whether it should be ranked No. 1 or No. 2 when the final four teams are unveiled at noon, ET, Dec. 6 (ESPN).
Alabama (11-1, 7-1 in SEC) is an early 17.5-point favorite over Florida in Saturday’s SEC Championship Game in Atlanta.
Blowouts are common in SEC title games, and given Florida’s offensive issues, most expect another Saturday.
Clemson (12-0) faces surging North Carolina in the ACC Championship Game on Saturday night in Charlotte.
