Alabama Sneaks Into The College Football Playoffs, Miami & Ole Miss Left Out?!

The College Football Playoff selection committee has made its decision, and Alabama is in. The Crimson Tide will be the No. 4 seed in the playoff, joining No. 1 Georgia, No. 2 Michigan, and No. 3 TCU. Miami and Ole Miss, who were both ranked ahead of Alabama in the final College Football Playoff rankings, were left out.

How did Alabama get in?

Alabama’s inclusion in the College Football Playoff is controversial. The Crimson Tide lost two games this season, including a 49-26 blowout loss to Tennessee. However, Alabama also has some impressive wins on its resume, including a victory over No. 6 Texas A&M. The selection committee ultimately decided that Alabama’s strength of schedule and overall body of work was enough to earn them a spot in the playoff.

Why were Miami and Ole Miss left out?

Miami and Ole Miss were both ranked ahead of Alabama in the final College Football Playoff rankings. However, both teams have some flaws on their resumes. Miami lost to Middle Tennessee State, a team from the Conference USA. Ole Miss lost to LSU, a team that finished the season with a 6-7 record. The selection committee ultimately decided that Alabama’s resume was stronger than Miami’s and Ole Miss’s, even though the Crimson Tide were ranked lower in the final CFP rankings.

Reaction to the selection

The selection of Alabama has been met with mixed reaction. Some people believe that the Crimson Tide deserve to be in the playoff, while others believe that Miami or Ole Miss should have been selected instead. The selection committee’s decision is sure to be debated for weeks to come.

What are the implications of Alabama’s inclusion?

The inclusion of Alabama in the College Football Playoff has several implications. First, it means that the Crimson Tide have a chance to win their second national championship in a row. Second, it means that the SEC will have two teams in the playoff for the first time since 2019. Third, it means that the Big 12 will not have a team in the playoff for the first time since 2014.

Conclusion

The selection of Alabama to the College Football Playoff is controversial. However, the Crimson Tide have a chance to prove that they deserve to be there. If Alabama wins the national championship, it will be a major victory for the SEC and for Nick Saban. However, if Alabama loses, it will be a major disappointment for the Crimson Tide and for the SEC. Only time will tell what the future holds for Alabama.
