  • Why did Alabama football lose out to SMU for the final spot in Sunday's final CFP rankings? Here's what CFP committee chair Warde Manuel said:

The article from MSN discusses the surprising selection of SMU over Alabama for the final spot in the College Football Playoff bracket. Despite Alabama's strong performance and historical prestige, the College Football Playoff committee favored SMU due to several key factors. SMU had an undefeated season, which was a significant point in their favor. Additionally, SMU's strength of schedule was considered robust, with notable wins against ranked teams. The committee also took into account SMU's impressive performance in the AAC Championship game. Alabama, although finishing with only one loss, had a less convincing schedule and a loss to Texas early in the season which might have played a role in their exclusion. This decision has sparked considerable debate about the criteria used for playoff selection, highlighting the ongoing discussions about what truly constitutes a "deserving" team in college football.
