Alabama football’s social team trolls CFP committee over rushing criticism ...Middle East

Alabama was ranked No. 4 in the first two College Football Playoff rankings of 2025.

Then came a loss to Oklahoma in Week 12, enough to send the Crimson Tide all the way to No. 10 — still in the Playoff chase but having no margin for error the rest of the way.

The reason for such a drop wasn’t just the loss, CFP selection chair Hunter Yurachek said. It was a demonstrated inability to run the football. The Tide entered Saturday having averaged 108.7 rushing yards per game, the third-worst rushing offense in the SEC and in the bottom 15 in FBS.

One game against Eastern Illinois, though, may have been what Alabama needed to get its running game in order. The Tide’s highest single-game rushing total was against Louisiana-Monroe in Week 2 (212). They finished with 269 on Saturday. Their eight rushing touchdowns were the most in a single game in 46 years.

Yes, it was Eastern Illinois in what amounted to a tune-up ahead of a looming Iron Bowl against Auburn on Nov. 29. Considering how the ground game performed, though, it looks as if the Tide took what the CFP committee said personally.

Or at least the program’s social media team did:
