An Alabama Crimson Tide fan was still upset that his team was left out of the College Football Playoff and decided to interrupt coverage of President Donald Trump’s inauguration with his complaints.
The fan, identified as Graham from New Jersey, dialed C-SPAN and delivered the hottest take of the year so far.

“I’m a little more disappointed in the selection committee that didn’t pick Alabama for the College Football Playoff final,” the man said. “Accepting interior teams like SMU and Indiana – a truly dark time in America.”
C-SPAN ended the call and returned to coverage of the inauguration.

Alabama didn’t really have a case compared to the other 12 teams chosen for the expanded College Football Playoff. The Crimson Tide finished 9-3 in the regular season and lost to Vanderbilt, No. 11 Tennessee and unranked Oklahoma.
Three losses to SEC opponents put them on the outside looking in when it came to the conference championship game. Alabama also couldn’t save face as it lost to Michigan in the ReliaQuest Bowl on December 31. This was the second straight season that the Wolverines eliminated the Crimson Tide in a bowl game.

Alabama has star talent on both sides of the ball, but will have to deal with the loss of Jalen Milroe before the 2025 season. Milroe has declared for the NFL Draft.
