Stinchcomb appeared Wednesday at Mobile fundraiser
Stinchcomb, also a former Georgia and NFL offensive lineman, appeared Wednesday along with ESPN colleagues Roman Harper and Taylor Zarzour at the “Passion for Prichard” fundraiser for Prichard Prep Academy at Mobile’s GulfQuest Museum. He said that although the Crimson Tide checked it at No. 8 in the initial College Football Playoff rankings, there is a clear path to the Top 4 assuming Nick Saban’s team wins out.“They do have a path, there’s no question,” Stinchcomb said.
Despite being the two-time defending national champions and in the midst of a 25-game winning streak, Stinchcomb’s alma mater was No. 2 rather than No. 1. Along with No. 3 Michigan, the Bulldogs are no doubt being penalized for playing a soft schedule to this point, he said. “I do have a hard time figuring out what the committee values because you think about, if it’s strength of schedule, then it makes sense to have Ohio State at 1,” Stinchcomb said. “But then if that’s also the case, then I don’t know how you could have Georgia at 2 or Michigan at 3 because their strength of schedule was terrible, right? I think George is at 100 and Michigan’s at 111.
“Maybe the committee is saying, ‘look good job you played well without your best player,” Stinchcomb said. “And it seems like they valued that given where they put Texas. Texas is ranked above Oklahoma, a team that beat them not that long ago. So it is not always easy to reconcile the committee’s logic, but, the good news is it doesn’t really matter until the end of the season anyway. So it’s just a kick in the pants up until then.
