“A lot depends on how far Alabama drops in the next College Football rankings,” Barnhart said. “They need to pull for Auburn to beat Georgia on Saturday. Alabama needs to win out and have Baylor and Minnesota to lose. It is possible for Alabama to make the playoff, but they need a lot of help.”

Barnhart also said LSU should be the number one seed for the playoff if they win out.
