Griffin III: "SEC Bias" Put Alabama in College Football Playoff

Former NFL star Robert Griffin III has publicly criticized the College Football Playoff (CFP) selection committee. He accuses the group of favoring the Southeastern Conference (SEC). His comments followed the committee's final rankings. The University of Alabama earned a playoff spot. The University of Notre Dame and Brigham Young University (BYU) did not. Griffin, a Heisman Trophy winner, stated the committee showed "SEC bias." He believes this partiality unfairly helped Alabama's selection. The SEC is widely considered one of the strongest conferences in college football. The CFP committee chooses the four top teams for the national championship playoff. Their decisions often create intense debate among fans and analysts. The committee has not publicly responded to Griffin's accusation.
