Perfect or 100% fair? Well, nobody ever believed that.The first expanded playoff bracket unveiled Sunday left a presumably deserving Alabama team on the sideline in favor of an SMU squad that finished with a better record after playing a schedule that was not as difficult.It ranked undefeated Oregon first but set up a possible rematch against Ohio State, the team that came closest to beating the Ducks this year.
“Disappointed with the outcome and felt we were one of the 12 best teams in the country,” he said on social media.Even though all of Alabama's losses came against conference opponents this season, Byrne said “we will need to asses how many non-conference games make sense in the future to put us in the best position to participate in the CFP. That is not good for college football.
