WATCH: Kirk Herbstreit stunned that CFP committee picks Alabama over OSU
Published:
On Sunday, the four teams who will participate in this year’s College Football Playoff was released. Clemson came in at No. 1 to no surprise, followed by Oklahoma and Georgia at No. 2 and No. 3.
When it came to the No. 4 spot, it came down to either Alabama and Ohio State. The Crimson Tide are 11-1 and not a conference champion, while the Buckeyes are 11-2, conference champion, but one of their losses was a 31-point defeat to Iowa. And when it was shown that the committee went with Alabama over Ohio State, college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit was absolutely stunned.
