The college football world is still chiming in on the College Football Playoff committee’s decision to take 11-2 SMU over 9-3 Alabama.

Paul Finebaum was front and center Monday, declaring Alabama got “jobbed.” The SEC Network analyst was also quick to point out, however, the Tide didn’t help itself with the loss at Oklahoma.

“The biggest problem this committee had is that Warde Manuel, the athletic director at Michigan, got up on Tuesday night and completely blew it,” Finebaum said on Get Up, per On3. “He said things that committee chairman never say. And by the way, I appreciate him being transparent, but he put a roadblock up, and he essentially said, what you what you alluded to. And the reason why that committee went the direction there are people that represent college football and to make it easy for the audience, the college championship games bring in 10s, if not hundreds of millions of dollars, and they would have in essence, issued a Supreme Court ruling saying they are null and void.

“So, Alabama got jobbed. But again, Alabama did it to themselves. So they preserved the conference championship games at least for another year. They’re not going to be around long. You and I both know that.”

The selection committee preferred the Mustangs, losers in the ACC title game, who had a far less difficult schedule than Alabama of the SEC but one fewer loss.

On Sunday, Finebaum said the committee took the easy way out.

The Tide had the 16th toughest schedule and went 3-1 against teams in the top 25. SMU’s numbers: 60th in strength of schedule and 0-2 against the top 25.
