Mark Ingram says Alabama should be left out of College Football Playoff

Former Alabama running back Mark Ingram doesn’t believe the Crimson Tide have earned a College Football Playoff berth.
The former Heisman Trophy winner shared his thoughts on Alabama’s case after its 28-7 loss to Georgia on Saturday in the SEC Championship Game.
“Bama, you played Georgia in the SEC Championship and you lose by 21,” Ingram said during the pregame coverage of the B1G Championship game. “I have too much Bama in me, but you are out. Now, Miami and Notre Dame should both get in, in my opinion. I think that is the decision the committee is going to have to make. When you have 2 bad losses and the championship game, you have to play well in the championship game.”
The Crimson Tide haven’t played their best football as of late, as they went only 2-2 in their last four games while also having to hang on against a 5-7 Auburn team last week in the Iron Bowl.
While Kalen DeBoer believes his team has done enough to make it, others — including Ingram — have argued that the Tide should be out.
The final CFP bracket will be revealed on Sunday.
