Arkansas athletic director Hunter Yurachek found himself back in the national spotlight Sunday, this time responding with a touch of humor to criticism from legendary former Alabama coach Nick Saban over the College Football Playoff rankings.
Saban, appearing on ESPN’s College GameDay Saturday, had expressed frustration with what he saw as a lack of transparency in the committee’s process. During the broadcast, Rece Davis noted that Yurachek seemed to be keeping things “close to the vest.” Saban quipped in response, “Did he answer any questions that you asked or did I miss something?” His remark highlighted a sentiment shared by many fans and analysts: confusion over how certain teams were ranked in the final CFP field.
