Alabama’s loss to Michigan in the College Football Playoff Rose Bowl semifinal left the Tide short of returning to the top as champions, but the team did accomplish something great this season.
Despite early struggles and many analysts, media members and fans calling Alabama done for, the team improved every week and ultimately won the SEC championship and made the playoffs.
To top it all off, the team finished ranked inside the top five in the final US LBM Coaches Poll.
Here is the full US LBM Coaches Poll.
