Legendary college football coach Nick Saban sounded off on the inclusion of Group of 5 teams James Madison and Tulane into the 2025 College Football Playoff at the expense of 10-2 independent Notre Dame.
“I think the fact of the matter is, all 3 of those teams should have gotten in and deserve the right to play in the College Football Playoff,” Saban said during ESPN’s College Football Playoff selection show. “You’re going to have 2 teams in the Playoff, no disrespect to the Group of 5, that are nowhere near as highly ranked.”
The Dukes (12-1) won the Sun Belt Conference title by downing Troy 31-14 on Saturday. The Green Wave (11-2) captured the American Conference crown by outlasting North Texas 34-21. The CFP selection committee had to include the 5 highest conference champions as automatic bids, and both James Madison and Tulane finished ranked higher than did 5-loss Duke – which won the ACC title by upsetting Virginia 27-20 in overtime Saturday.
“You have 10 teams that are getting evaluated on one set of criteria in this year’s polling, and you have 2 teams getting into the playoffs being evaluated on a whole different set of criteria,” Saban continued. “In some kind of way, we have to bring those to balance – that we shouldn’t be evaluating teams with a different set of criteria.”
