Alabama Football: Selection Committee sets new standard with Tide ranking

The primary purpose of the CFB Selection Committee is to select the best four teams to play for a national championship. Alabama football fans know this season’s Crimson Tide was not one of the four best.

Credit the current Selection Committee for correctly choosing and seeding the best four teams. Additionally, most fans believe the four-team Playoff has always resulted in the nation’s two best teams competing for the national championship. Over the preceding five years, mistakes have been made inside the four-team selections. Notre Dame, last season is one example of a mistake.

With Alabama football always in the top four, many Tide fans have not quibbled over how the other 21 teams have been ranked.
