A die-hard Crimson Tide supporter, clearly unhappy with Alabama's exclusion from the College Football Playoff, voiced his frustration during President Trump's inauguration coverage on C-SPAN.

The caller, identified as Graham from New Jersey, expressed his disappointment with the selection committee's decision, labeling the inclusion of teams like SMU and Indiana as "truly dark times in America."

Alabama's 9-3 regular season record, including losses to unranked Vanderbilt, No. 11 Tennessee, and unranked Oklahoma, left them out of contention for the expanded College Football Playoff. Their subsequent loss to Michigan in the ReliaQuest Bowl further solidified their disappointing season.

Despite having talented players, Alabama faces the challenge of replacing quarterback Jalen Milroe, who has declared for the NFL Draft.
