Dan Mullen makes the case for Miami over Alabama in the College Football Playoff

What could end up being the final overall offer is this College Football Playoffs The committee decided on a ranking Alabama No. 11 over Miami. A big decision as the Crimson Tide suffered three losses Mario CristobalThe team only consists of two. The decision sparked a lot of controversy and led others to voice their opinions.

One of them is ESPN analyst Dan Mullen, who says his gut instinct was to choose Miami over Alabama. However, as Mullen begins his explanation, his main concern was getting the best wins. He cites how difficult it is to win compared to losing.

“I would have rather gone to Miami than Alabama,” Mullen said. “That would be me from the outside. But if I really looked into it, I would be a hypocrite. For me, winning was always the most important thing. Don’t tell me about your big defeat, all that matters is victory…

“If you look at it and really break it down, Alabama has better wins than Miami. They also have worse losses. Overall, from me and my gut feeling, I would have gone to Miami rather than Alabama, but then I would be a hypocrite and say that winning is the most important thing. If you compare the wins, Alabama has better wins.”

Alabama’s best win arguably rivals any in college football. Georgia arrived in Tuscaloosa on Sept. 28 and held on in the fourth quarter after a fast start to the first half. Wins against ranked teams Missouri And South Carolina The teams also stand out.

Miami secured 10 regular-season wins, but none against teams ranked in the top 25 in the College Football Playoff on Tuesday. Eight wins Louisville is probably the most impressive of all, while Florida’s late resurgence makes its season-opening defeat look better.

In making this comparison, Mullen has to assume that Alabama’s quality wins would be enough to get them into the 12-team field. Still, he has a gut feeling that Miami deserved the spot and should have gotten in.
