The 3 losses alone should have put Alabama behind 12 in rank.
That's on that Committee that needs to be gotten rid of. But they won't. They love committees in these tournaments, and they are biased. Alabama did win the first game at Oklahoma, which counts for something. But they should not have been there with 3 losses since 2 other teams has only 2 losses and were more deserving IMO. Kirk Herbstreet couldn't have been more suprised that Alabama couldn't handle it this year. He's probably the only one other than that Committee. Alabama is still a very good team, but they were picked over 2 others that I think were more deserving.
After watching this, the CFP needs to go to 16 now with zero Byes. The teams with the byes are showing that they are too rusty in this playoff. Only 1 out of the last 8 has been able to win, and all of them should be the better teams. The NFL handles that ok, but it's not a month layoff like college.

12-1 leading into Champ weekend, while ND sat home, and Bama lost big, too.

Yep, ND's ire should've been directed at the committee instead of the ACC.

Agreed, transfer portal and NIL makes it so they don't stockpile as much.
