Paul Finebaum will not bet on Alabama playoff chances

ESPN commentator, Paul Finebaum feels Alabama is not in a good position to make the college football playoffs at the moment.

The Crimson Tide are currently 7-1, and they are tied for first place in the SEC West. Alabama appears to control its own destiny with its remaining schedule. Finebaum said he would not bet on Alabama making the playoffs on ESPN’s KJW.

“I would not,” Finebaum said. “Here is the reason. They have lost their margin for error by losing to Tennessee. Next Saturday, they play LSU, that is dangerous but not impossible. They will be the favorite.
