ESPN analyst Jordan Rodgers voiced his disapproval of the College Football Playoff committee's rankings during a segment on 'Get Up.' He argued that Alabama should not be rated above Tennessee, given the Vols' victory over the Tide earlier this season. The committee's preference for Alabama's strength of schedule is under scrutiny, especially in light of Tennessee's significant wins over other top teams. Alabama's recent win against LSU propelled them to No. 3 in the rankings, while Tennessee remains positioned five spots lower despite their direct win against Alabama. Rodgers highlighted inconsistencies in the committee’s approach to assessing head-to-head matchups.
