Extra importantly, the loss by Alabama utterly torpedoed the argument that the squad ought to have made the Faculty Soccer Playoff. After Indiana and different groups misplaced badly within the first spherical of the CFP, there was discuss that different groups — like Bama — have been extra deserving of the spot. That argument misplaced much more credibility following the Tide’s loss to the Wolverines.
Butt took purpose at that narrative with a pointy social media put up.
“The great factor for Bama is that they received the essential matchup- the Vegas level unfold. It’s not their fault {that a} depleted Michigan workforce lacking all of its greatest gamers beat them today- do not forget that sport doesn’t matter.. it’s the hypothetical that issues and Bama already received that. Actually, Bama is a playoff workforce. They play within the SEC the place it simply means extra. Additionally Bama’s gamers have been ranked larger in highschool. And the nfl scouts will love the Alabama gamers that performed at present!” Butt wrote.
