Alabama’s athletics director suggests it’s time for the football team to rethink the non-conference schedule after missing out on the College Football Playoff.
Alabama athletics director Greg Byrne lamented the Crimson Tide being left out of the College Football Playoff on Sunday and suggested the football program would rethink its non-conference schedule.
Byrne had pointed to the Crimson Tide’s strength of schedule during the season as to why Alabama deserved to be in the playoff as a three-loss team over someone like SMU. Byrne made the case before the bracket was revealed, but the selection committee didn’t take the bait.
It led to questions about whether strength of schedule mattered to officials who decided the bracket.
„Disappointed with the outcome and felt we were one of the 12 best teams in the country“, Byrne wrote on X.
