Ding dong, Miami’s dead, but did Ole Miss deserve the CFP rankings nod over Alabama?

New York Times  

The College Football Playoff selection committee made the words of their chairman from a week earlier look silly, and they should all be commended for it. It is to the credit, or good fortune, of The SEC Three — three-loss Alabama, Ole Miss and South Carolina — that they played and beat better teams than Miami. 14 South Carolina has a case, too, but when it’s this tight and the Gamecocks lost to Alabama and Ole Miss, the head-to-head results should register and differentiate. ESPN’s Heather Dinich, who covers the committee, noted it “likes this offense and Cam Ward” in predicting Miami would make the cut Tuesday. That counts as the other mentionable win on Miami’s schedule, but anyone who has watched Florida this season Ole Miss also lost at home to 4-8 Kentucky, which is bad.
