Jason Smith: “I’m okay with Alabama being ahead of Miami, and Miami being out. If you have 3 losses, and Alabama’s loss to Oklahoma is really bad, that one really sticks out. Maybe you fell asleep against Vanderbilt, but the Oklahoma loss is bad. It’s still 3 losses, and now it looks like that is the line of demarcation in the polls. I’m okay with it, because if you have 3 losses, you have to have a really good resume outside of that to get in the playoff, and Alabama does!”

Mike Harmon: “Clearly, beating up on Florida State doesn’t matter this year. Miami lost two of three down the stretch...by the way, we didn’t even mention the whole brand thing – this isn’t the U! You could have a class reunion and bring back every legend that ever wore the uniform and it doesn’t matter. Alabama still rates.”

On today’s edition of The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon, Jason and Mike gave their reactions to the latest College Football Playoff rankings, why they’re okay with Alabama making the playoff over Miami, relishing in Syracuse’s win over Miami, and more!
