Alabama GM Courtney Morgan was far from the only person frustrated with the first-round matchups in the College Football Playoff.
SEC Network’s Paul Finebaum weighed in amid Penn State’s dominating performance. He ripped the CFP committee for the “blockbuster” opening games.
SMU quarterback Kevin Jennings threw three interceptions in the first half, including two pick-sixes as Penn State took full control. On offense, the Nittany Lions totaled 216 yards after a sluggish start. Those stats were part of the reason Finebaum told the committee to “take a bow” for setting up the games.
“So far, the CFP selection committee has given us some blockbusters,” Finebaum wrote on X. “Notre Dame led late over Indiana 27-3 and Penn State just went up on the committee’s final team 28-0 at the half. Take a bow.”
