When the Crimson Tide received the No. 9 seed in the College Football Playoff, Todd expressed his frustration with the officials over the decision.

“Wow. Bama not moving? What a corrupt joke of a cmte,” he wrote in a post on X. “Regardless of who gets the 10 spot.”

“When it’s not in your control, there are always anxious times,” he said Sunday, via AL.com. “We really still felt good about what we accomplished all season.
