Amazing.
I am not arguing Vanderbilt's ranking. However ...
The fact Vanderbilt, per selection committee comments, did not get much credit for beating rival Tennessee (9-3) on the road because they won by so much the committee dropped the Vols out of the rankings, but ...
Alabama moved up for beating rival unranked Auburn (5-7) on the road because it was a close game and made a "gutsy" call on a late touchdown should go down in selection committee Hall of Fame reasoning.
Alabama was a 22.5-point favorite over Vanderbilt, a 14-point favorite over Oklahoma and a 16.5-point favorite over Michigan.
Please never talk about hypothetical point spreads again.
Wonder if Nick remembers 2019 when Alabama got into the CFP over an undefeated UCF and 12-1 Ohio St. team and Clemson trounced Alabama 44-16 in the Final
