ESPN Confirms the REC: PROOF

“Its win over Georgia shifted the dynamic on Saturday. At that point, it felt like an inevitability that the SEC champion would make it into the playoff, because of the league's dominance in the CFP since its inception -- and the near nonstop lobbying both Alabama coach Nick Saban and SEC commissioner Greg Sankey have done over the last week to make clear the Alabama case.”

Checks cleared. Congrats Bama
