Alabama will go to a bowl game instead of the first-ever 12-team College Football Playoff, but athletic director Greg Byrne already has a big adjustment in mind.

Bryne first stated via social media platform X on Sunday that he was “disappointed” in the No. 11 Crimson Tide (9–3) missing the playoff field. Sixteenth-ranked Clemson (10–3) winning the ACC instead of No. 10 SMU (11–2) ultimately bumped the Tide out of the playoff field as the first team out.
