Let's face it, if Florida State beats Louisville regardless whether it's about 1 point or 20 points, they're going to get into the playoffs.

I tell you something that really jumps out to me guys is this, is that Alabama, even if they win the SEC Championship game, they're not a shoe in. They need some help.

And I think that's the one thing that a lot of people can't fathom.

The SEC champion, Alabama, 12 and 1, they still need help to get in based on going being at number 8 right now.

It's a long way to the top four.

It is a wild thought, but it's one that we will discuss here on always college football.

Thanks to Booker McFarland.

I'm Greg McElroy.

Thanks for being with us.

It's awesome that you're here with us on a Wednesday edition of always college football full

disclosure we're taping it on Tuesday night I am in Bristol just got off the set a

little while ago of the college football rankings show

Frankly let me see what it's called just so I don't get in trouble

College football playoff selection committee rankings. Yeah, I don't know it's called the rankings release show in my eyes. So that's what I'm going to call it. Hopefully it's on sponsored, but we have a bunch of amazing sponsors here. Either way, thank you guys so much for being here. We're going to break down the rankings like we always do. We're going to have a little bit of a roundtable discussion. We did this a couple weeks ago and we decided this time to open it up to

Twitter and so many of you have weighed in, responded to my Twitter, responded to the always

college football Twitter, always CFB.

And you've already submitted questions.

So we're going to kind of bounce around a couple

hypotheticals, talk about some certain scenarios.

What you might need, if you are Alabama Alabama here is the blueprint to you making the

playoff and it's not as simple as beat Georgia it's not if you're Texas here's

the blueprint to you making the playoff.
