Notre Dame rushed for more yards in the SEC Championship game than Alabama did

Notre Dame ran for more yards in the SEC Championship Game than Alabama did. So did you, and your coworker, and your neighbor, and all of us who weren't there in Atlanta taking on the Georgia Bulldogs .

But just like the Fighting Irish, we'll all be on our couches when the College Football Playoff kicks off. And the Crimson Tide will be playing in it.

It's just one way of looking at the biggest controversy of Sunday's CFP reveal.

Notre Dame was left out, leapfrogged by Miami after five weeks of the selection committee's pre-rankings showing the Fighting Irish ahead of the Hurricanes.

But there at No. 9, staying ahead of both of them after a one-sided loss to Georgia, was Alabama.
