Rece Davis and Pete Thamel are joined by Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer who says his team can win a national championship. But first, he gives his thoughts on the Week 15 rankings which project Alabama as the last team to secure a playoff bid. Then, he addresses his team's loss to Oklahoma (24-3). After, Rece and Pete talk about Alabama's ranking position ahead of Miami, Ole Miss and South Carolina, if SMU will fall out of the playoff bracket completely and how far Georgia could tumble if they lose the SEC title game to Texas and simultaneously pick up their third loss.
