Skip Bayless says it’s ‘absurd’ that Alabama earned CFP bid over Ohio State
Published:
The College Football Playoff committee’s decision to include Alabama over Ohio State on Sunday afternoon has already been one of the most debated items from the 2017 season. Everyone has had an opinion on the Crimson Tide sneaking in over the Buckeyes.
Fans, analysts, and pretty much everyone with an iPhone hopped on Twitter to chime in on the decision. That includes FOX Sports debate champion Skip Bayless.
After hearing of the committee’s decision, Bayless hopped on Twitter and unleashed a furry of tweets, much like college football analyst Danny Kanell.
I'm no Ohio State fan. BUT THE BUCKEYES JUST GOT ALL-TIME ROBBED OF THE FOURTH SPOT IN THE PLAYOFFS. OHIO STATE IS BETTER THAN ALABAMA, WHICH GOT DOMINATED BY AUBURN AND WHOSE DEFENSE GAVE UP 150+ RUSHING THE LAST THREE GAMES.

Is the committee projecting Alabama will get healthier over the next month? So will JT Barrett, who played last night six days after knee surgery and obviously wasn't quite as sharp as usual. This is just absurd.

Maybe the committee just wanted a trilogy tiebreaker game between Clemson and Alabama after Deshaun lost then won the last two national championship games.

Kirby Hocutt, the committee chairman, says Ohio State's 31-point loss at unranked Iowa gave the edge to Bama. Yet Ohio State did beat Penn State and Wisconsin. Please show me Bama's impressive wins.

Does Nick Saban run college football?

Bayless was pretty heated over Ohio State’s omission from the College Football Playoff, but he seems more upset that Alabama got in than the Buckeyes being left out.
The FOX Sports personality is pretty well known for his strong opinions and outbursts. This was just another item that got him fired up. And he’s got plenty of people that actually agree with him this time.
