Alabama fans are upset that its team did not play for a College Football Playoff National Championship, but no one is more frustrated than the players.
The athletes for the Crimson Tide watched on television as maize and blue confetti fell for Michigan at NRG Stadium (Houston, Texas) as national champions of college football. Michigan earned a 34-13 victory over Washington on Monday night in the CFP National Championship Game. Jim Harbaugh is a national championship head coach, and Alabama had a chance to prevent it from happening at the Rose Bowl on New Year’s Day. The Tide suffered a 20-27 overtime loss and is feeling more agony now.

He is trending toward being a first-round selection in April. Hiss collegiate career ended with a national championship ring, but Alabama fans appreciate Arnold for what he did for the program.
