The defeat dropped the Tide to 5-2 on the season. On ESPN's "College Football Show" with Matt Barrie Sunday, Finebaum called DeBoer's program an "absolute trainwreck." “Alabama is an absolute trainwreck. There’s, there’s no sugar coating it,” <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVbIKpZy5xE" rel="nofollow"> Finebaum told Barrie </a> . “And I’m sure Kalen DeBoer and his cast of minions can try to act like they control — I actually heard somebody say Alabama controls its own destiny. For what the end of the world? “Why would you now believe that Alabama, after what we’ve seen the last three weeks, is now going to get off the canvas beat Missouri, which is not great, but still formidable, anybody is formidable for Alabama right now, and then go to Baton Rouge and beat LSU after what we saw from LSU last night.” <figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=3A39Q7_0wEowKZx00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=3A39Q7_0wEowKZx00" width="1200" height="800" ><figcaption>ATLANTA, GA - DECEMBER 31: ESPN broadcaster, Paul Finebaum before the college football playoff semifinal game between the University of Georgia Bulldogs and The Ohio State Buckeyes on December 31, 2022 at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, GA.

However, Finebaum said earlier in the day on SportsCenter he does not see 'Bama making the 12-team College Football Playoff. "After what we saw yesterday in Knoxville, it's hard to believe that Alabama can run the table," Finebaum said, via <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/alabama-crimson-tide/news/paul-finebaum-predicts-alabama-will-miss-2024-college-football-playoff-it-feels-over-for-the-crimson-tide/" rel="nofollow"> On3's Dan Morrison </a> . "They're one of the most undisciplined Alabama teams I have ever seen. It is just unfathomable to think they can put all this back together again." The Crimson Tide likely need to run the table to get to 10-2 and have a shot at a playoff berth. They'll try to get things started against a 6-1 Missouri team this Saturday.
