While Americans from around the nation were focused on President Donald Trump beginning his second term on Monday, one C-SPAN caller wanted to give his thoughts on Alabama being left out of the college football playoffs.

Graham, a self-described Democrat from New Jersey, called into C-SPAN on Monday to complain about the Crimson Tide being relegated to the ReliaQuest Bowl after their 9-3 regular season.

“I want to wish everyone a happy MLK Day. I hope everyone is staying warm. A bit disappointed in how the election turned out. I think it would have been great to see a female president inaugurated today. While I’m disappointed in the American people and their desire to see another four years of Trump, I’m a bit more disappointed in the selection committee for not picking Alabama for the college football playoff finals and selecting inferior teams like SMU and Indiana. Truly dark times in America,” Graham said.

Alabama lost its New Year’s Eve bowl game against Michigan 19-13.

Ohio State faces off against Notre Dame at 6:30 p.m. on Monday in the national championship game.
