College Football Playoff director Rich Clark isn't happy there was a leak that spoiled the biggest surprise of this year's 12-team field.
Moments before ESPN's final selection show aired Sunday, Brett McMurphy of the Action Network reported SMU was awarded the final at-large bid in the CFP. That was notable because the biggest debate going into the show was whether the last spot would go to the Mustangs or Alabama.
"I was furious," Clark said Tuesday, per Matt Hayes of USA Today. "I told all involved, you've betrayed the process."
Clark said he learned of the leak when his son texted him right before the release.
