Alabama made it into the College Football Playoff over Florida State, leading to many stunned and angry reactions among fans of the sport. But what made fans nearly as mad was the fact that ESPN, who hosted the College Football Playoff selection show, had analyst Greg McElroy, a former Crimson Tide quarterback, explain why the committee made its decision. Fans proceeded to roast the network—and McElroy—on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Having to immediately hear Greg McElroy, Former Alabama QB, defend Alabama backdooring the playoffs is so tone deaf by ESPN. 🥴
