Unseen Giants: The College Football Powerhouses That Almost Changed History
4. 2022 Alabama (37.48)
Contrary to popular belief, the committee hasn’t done everything it can to get Alabama in the field. We’ve already listed the 2019 Crimson Tide as the best team to miss the CFP.
It happened again in 2022 when the Tide were left out in the cold after an 10-2 regular season. During a stretch in which it faced five ranked opponents in six games, Bama suffered heartbreaking road losses at No. 6 Tennessee (52-49) and No. 15 LSU (32-31).
“Hey, look. We lost two (games) on the last play of the game. (TCU) was 12-1 and lost to Kansas State. And we beat Kansas State by 25 or 28 points and we would’ve been favored (over) that last team by 13 points that got in, but we didn’t get in and they got in,” former Alabama coach Nick Saban would say two years later.
