Coming into the regular season finale, there is still a sliver of hope that Alabama could sneak its way into the College Football Playoff, but it has to win this week and next and hope for some chaos in the rankings for that to happen. For now, the Crimson Tide needs to get past Auburn in this year's edition of the Iron Bowl Game.

  • Alabama is 7-0 in SEC play this season, and has clinched the West Division with a date against No. 1 Georgia in the league title game to start December
  • The loss early this year against Texas still hurts the Crimson Tide's reputation in the eyes of the committee
  • Auburn dropped a surprise decision at home last week against New Mexico State, which came into Jordan-Hare as 25.5 point underdogs
  • First-year coach Hugh Freeze is 6-5 overall and 3-4 in SEC play in his Auburn debut, and is 2-3 against Nick Saban in his career

Computer prediction

Most analytic models favor Alabama to defeat its arch-rival this week.

That includes College Football Power Index, a computer prediction model that uses data points from both teams to simulate games 20,000 times to pick winners.

The index projects that Alabama will win the game in 85.7 percent of simulations, while Auburn came out the winner in the remaining 14.3 percent of sims.

The computer predicts that Alabama will defeat Auburn by 16.9 points, or by 17 points if we round that number up, enough to cover the line.
