In 10 days, we'll know which four teams will play for the national championship, when the College Football Playoff selection committee announces the pairings for the semifinals.

Not to get ahead of ourselves, as Alabama has its season finale against Auburn on Saturday (2:30 p.m.), and with a win has to sit and wait during the conference championship games, but the opening lines on potential playoff matchups are very interesting. 

It's a good indication of how the Crimson Tide is viewed without Tua Tagovailoa at quarterback.
