‘Alabama has no business being where they are’: Paul Finebaum says CFP ranking ‘doesn’t make any sense’

ESPN commentator Paul Finebaum recently criticized the initial College Football Playoff rankings, specifically questioning the committee's decision to place Alabama at number five. Finebaum argued that the ranking is illogical, particularly given that Tennessee, which holds an identical 6-2 record, defeated Alabama 26-10 earlier this season.

He also expressed frustration over the committee's reliance on Alabama's early-season victory against Mississippi State, noting that Mississippi State quarterback Kamario Taylor was injured during that contest. Committee chair Hunter Yurachek defended the decision by citing the strength of Mississippi State earlier in the year before their quarterback's injury.
