A Dismal Performance in the SEC Title Games Puts Alabama's Playoff Hopes in Jeopardy
Alabama played the SEC Championship shorthanded with key starters out, leading to a 28-7 loss that could jeopardize their College Football Playoff chances, coach said.
- Yesterday, the Alabama Crimson Tide lost 28-7 to the Georgia Bulldogs at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Dec. 6, 2025.
- Facing injuries and a suspension, Alabama entered the title game shorthanded with Jam Miller and Josh Cuevas out, LT Overton and Kelby Collins ruled out, and Dre Kirkpatrick Jr. indefinitely suspended.
- A blocked punt by Georgia set up a quick touchdown, swinging field position early as Alabama was held to 16 carries for-3 yards and Ty Simpson faced pressure all night.
- On Sunday the College Football Playoff selection committee will decide Alabama's postseason fate, while Greg Sankey, SEC commissioner, called Georgia 'That may be the best team in the country right now' and Kalen DeBoer blamed injuries and practice issues for Alabama's loss.
- DeBoer said the roster could look very different with two weeks to recover, adding a full lineup then could make Alabama more competitive if it reaches the 12-team bracket.
