Alabama Surges to No. 11 in CFP Rankings, Miami Drops Out

Alabama has moved into the last at-large spot for the College Football Playoff, while Miami has fallen out of contention, dropping to No. 12 in the latest rankings. The selection committee's decisions have sparked controversy, particularly from ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips, who criticized Miami's drop despite their strong season performance. Championship games this weekend, especially in the ACC, could still impact Alabama's position, with Clemson potentially acting as a bid-stealer if they win. Oregon, Texas, SMU, and Boise State currently hold the top four seeds.
