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.
