After Indiana and different groups misplaced badly within the first spherical of the CFP, there was speak that different groups — like Bama — had been extra deserving of the spot. That argument misplaced much more credibility following the Tide’s loss to the Wolverines.

“The nice factor for Bama is that they gained the necessary matchup- the Vegas level unfold. It’s not their fault {that a} depleted Michigan group lacking all of its finest gamers beat them today- do not forget that recreation doesn’t matter.. it’s the hypothetical that issues and Bama already gained that. Actually, Bama is a playoff group. They play within the SEC the place it simply means extra. Additionally Bama’s gamers had been ranked increased in highschool. And the nfl scouts will love the Alabama gamers that performed at present!” Butt wrote.
