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

“I’m a little more disappointed in the selection committee for not picking Alabama for the College Football Playoff finals,” the man said. “Accepting interior teams like SMU and Indiana – truly dark times in America.”
C-SPAN ended the call and moved back to inauguration coverage.

Alabama didn’t really have a case over the other 12 teams selected for the expanded College Football Playoff. The Crimson Tide finished 9-3 in the regular season and lost to unranked Vanderbilt, No. 11 in 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 they lost to Michigan in the ReliaQuest Bowl on December 31st. It was the second straight season 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 for the 2025 season. Milroe declared for the NFL Draft.
