'Bama rolled to the 37-20 romp of the Volunteers in Tuscaloosa. Fans and even national media created a new perception of the Tide after this home rout of the No. 11 team in the land. Matt Stahl of AL.com believes this boosts 'Bama's postseason hopes significantly .
"The win means that the Crimson Tide is right on track as far as the College Football Playoff goes. Even if Tennessee had won the game, UA likely wouldn't have been eliminated from the 12-team field, but beating the Volunteers certainly makes things easier," Stahl wrote.

Fox Sports radio host Aaron Torres surfaced as one liking what DeBoer has now built.

Adam Spencer of Saturday Down South believes Alabama has assured itself of a December spot in the 12-team CFP. After all, 'Bama has defeated ranked foes Vanderbilt, Georgia, Missouri and now a 2024 CFP team in Tennessee.
