Alabama is coming off a massive defeat in the SEC Championship Game, and at there is plenty of people to blame for the blowout.

Alabama and Miami are in, Notre Dame is out and Indiana is No. 1 in the College Football Playoff’s 12-team bracket.

Former NBC host Chuck Todd was perturbed over the Alabama Crimson Tide getting into the College Football Playoff on Sunday with three losses.

Alabama football was already down significantly in the SEC championship game. Adding injury to insult though, the Crimson Tide will be without a starting defensive back the rest of the way. Zabien Brown will likely miss the remainder of a game with an injury, according to the ESPN broadcast. Brown is a starting cornerback for Alabama.

After a near-muffed punt, Alabama has to start at its own 4. Ty Simpson completes one to Geramie Bernard to set up a third-and-2 and a dump-off to his tight end is dropped as CJ Allen delivers a big hit for Georgia.

Alabama goes in at No. 9. Same as they were ranked before the game. In ranking Georgia and Alabama this way, the committee declared the SEC championship game a glorified exhibition. The late commissioner Roy Kramer’s revolutionary brainchild of a conference championship game has never been more meaningless than it became this weekend.

A blocked punt and a Ty Simpson interception, and the No. 9 Alabama Crimson Tide fell behind 14-0 to No. 3 Georgia in the first half of the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta. At stake is not only the SEC title, but a spot in the College Football Playoff. Many believe the Tide would make the CFP win or lose, as long as the game is competitive.
