James Madison and Tulane will have a chance to prove they belong after earning spots in the College Football Playoff field.
Almost as soon as the 12-team College Football Playoff bracket was released, and that took almost a half-hour as ESPN did its best to build suspense, talk quickly turned to the deserving teams left out.
Former Alabama coach Nick Saban was the first to note that the playoff didn’t include the 12 best teams, that schools like Notre Dame, Vanderbilt and Texas are vastly superior to Group of 5 conference champions Tulane of the AAC and James Madison of the Sun Belt.
