Alabama football got left out of the 12-team College Football Playoff.
The CFP Committee made the decision on Selection Sunday to go with Southern Methodist University (SMU) over the Crimson Tide for the playoff.

The committee favored SMU’s conference championship game appearance over Alabama’s strength of schedule.
