Alabama's Controversial CFP Ranking Sparks Debate Over SEC Bias

The College Football Playoff rankings have sparked controversy as a three-loss Alabama team is ranked ahead of a two-loss Miami, highlighting perceived SEC favoritism. The ACC, hoping for better representation, is disappointed as Miami's late-season collapse and lack of top 25 wins cost them a playoff spot. The selection committee's decision raises questions about consistency and the value of conference championship games, especially if a team like SMU could be penalized similarly. The rankings underscore the ongoing debate over the SEC's influence in college football.
