College Football Playoff's first 12-team bracket is set with Oregon No. 1 and SMU in, Alabama out
The new, 12-team College Football Playoff brings with it a promise to be bigger, more exciting, more lucrative.Perfect or 100% fair? Well, nobody ever believed that.
The first expanded playoff bracket unveiled Sunday left a presumably deserving Alabama team on the sideline in favor of an SMU squad that finished with a better record after playing a schedule that was not as difficult.
It ranked undefeated Oregon first but set up a possible rematch against Ohio State, the team that came closest to beating the Ducks this year.

Big Ten wins playoff selection derby, followed by SEC despite notable Alabama omission
College football's conference shakeup left concerns about two super conferences dominating the playoff field.They weren't totally unfounded or 100% borne out. The Big Ten, not the Southeastern Conference, was the biggest winner Sunday. The ACC scored, too.
The Big Ten led the initial 12-team playoff field with four programs making the cut, topped by a No. 1 Oregon (13-0) team that was part of the Pac-12 exodus.
“It's a great league,” Ducks coach Dan Lanning said. "That was part of the allure of us getting to join this league. I think we've obviously only... Read More

“The records are great, they put a smile on your face,” Barkley said, “but the season is far from over.”
Needing 109 yards to break LeSean McCoy's record, Barkley rushed for 124 yards... Read More
Assad's fall in Syria is a 'fundamental act of justice,' but also 'a moment of risk,' Biden says
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden said Sunday that the sudden collapse of the Syrian government under Bashar Assad is a “fundamental act of justice” after decades of repression, but it was “a moment of risk and uncertainty” for the Middle East.Biden spoke at the White House hours after rebel groups completed a takeover of the country following more than a dozen years of violent civil war and decades of leadership by Assad and his family. Biden said the United States was monitoring reports of the whereabouts of Assad, with Russian state media saying he had fled to... Read More
Alabama left out of playoff as committee rewards SMU's wins over Crimson Tide's strong schedule
The College Football Playoff committee took SMU's wins over Alabama's strength of schedule, picking the Mustangs for the final at-large spot Sunday after a furious public debate and days of lobbying and arguing over which teams should make the 12-team field.SMU (11-2) showed it could compete against a traditional power, losing to Clemson 34-31 on a 56-yard field goal on the final play of the ACC championship game. The late-game rally probably did the trick.
“I just think America saw SMU belongs," Mustangs coach Rhett Lashlee told ESPN on Sunday after his team got in... Read More
