After one of the wildest seasons in NFL history, the playoffs are finally here. This year's postseason won't have Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs or Lamar Jackson and the Ravens, but there will still be plenty of familiar faces.

The NFL will settle the 2026 playoff bracket in Week 18. We have the up-to-date matchups as we work through Saturday and Sunday to close out the regular season.

One of those eight teams remaining is the Alabama Crimson Tide, which won its first CFP game since 2022, and first under second-year Tide head coach Kalen DeBoer. DeBoer took over for the legendary Nick Saban after he retired in Jan. 2024.

The College Football Playoff semifinal round features four head coaches who were all assistants at Alabama under Nick Saban.
