The College Football Playoff field is set and there is one big name missing from the four teams and it wasn’t really a surprise to anyone going into Sunday’s announcement – Nick Saban’s Alabama Crimson Tide.
Saban tried really hard over the last 24 hours to sell his team to the committee but those sales pitches didn’t work. Instead, Georgia will play Ohio State in the 1 vs. 4 matchup in Atlanta and Michigan will face TCU in 2 vs. matchup in Phoenix. Both games will take place on New Year’s Eve.
Again, this wasn’t much of a surprise because Alabama had two losses this season but college football fans still had a lot of fun laughing at Saban for falling short.
Coach Saban, will you coach in the College Football Playoff this year? pic.twitter.com/9CrKMEZHYW

I can't lie, I am happy that Nick Saban & Alabama are not in the playoffs. He was begging the committee last night to put them in the playoffs.

Has anyone checked on @AlabamaFTBL HC Nick Saban? Make sure he good. 😆

Nick Saban spent all day yesterday begging the College Football Playoff to select Alabama over TCU.
I’m sure it won’t be lost on #KStateFB that Saban see’s K-State as a bad loss for TCU. Here we come Sugar Bowl. 👀
