During President Trump's second inauguration, a caller humorously criticized Alabama's exclusion from the College Football Playoff on live television.

  • A caller identifying as 'Graham' interrupted C-SPAN's coverage of Donald Trump's second inauguration to criticize the College Football Playoff Selection Committee.
  • The caller expressed disappointment over Trump's re-election and Alabama's exclusion from the newly expanded 12-team playoff, calling it 'dark times in America.'
  • Alabama missed the playoff after a disappointing season, including three regular-season losses and a defeat in the ReliaQuest Bowl against Michigan.
