Overview

  • Georgia beat Alabama 28-7 in the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta, with the Crimson Tide finishing at minus-three rushing yards and scoring only in the fourth quarter.
  • Former Alabama Heisman winner Mark Ingram said the Tide should be left out of the 12-team field and that Miami and Notre Dame should receive at-large bids.
  • Fox’s Big Noon Kickoff panel agreed that Alabama’s résumé does not merit selection following the lopsided defeat.
  • No three-loss team has ever made the College Football Playoff, though recent committees have not typically penalized teams for losing conference title games.
  • Notre Dame and Miami were idle this weekend, and Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer argued the SEC title result should not count against his team, with the final bracket due Dec. 7.
