The College Football Playoff field is set and there is one big name missing from the four teams and it wasn’t really a surprise to anyone going into Sunday’s announcement – Nick Saban’s Alabama Crimson Tide.
Saban tried really hard over the last 24 hours to sell his team to the committee but those sales pitches didn’t work. Instead, Georgia will play Ohio State in the 1 vs. 4 matchup in Atlanta and Michigan will face TCU in 2 vs. matchup in Phoenix. Both games will take place on New Year’s Eve.
Again, this wasn’t much of a surprise because Alabama had two losses this season but college football fans still had a lot of fun laughing at Saban for falling short.
