"Strength of schedule matters," Byrne posted to X late Saturday night, before the CFP field was announced. "Not all schedules and conferences are created equal. Six of our eight wins are against bowl eligible teams and have come against some of the top teams in the SEC, including SEC champion Georgia."
In a post on X, Byrne said he was "disappointed" with the outcome and acknowledged the losses to .500 teams Vanderbilt and Oklahoma as "two games in particular that we did not perform as well as we should have."
Alabama played only one Power 4 nonconference game this year -- a 42-10 win at Wisconsin. But next year, the Crimson Tide have two Power 4 nonconference games -- at Florida State to open the season Aug. 30, and a return home game against Wisconsin on Sept. 13.
