Sunday, following the unveiling of the 12-team college football playoff pairings, which would not include the Alabama Crimson Tide, SEC Network and syndicated radio talker Paul Finebaum called the Tide's omission "the wrong decision."
Nick Saban is on the opposite end of SEC Media Days this week.
As the University of Alabama football continues to be on the outside looking in on making this year's College Football Playoff barring some upsets, one college football analyst is making the case for Alabama to leapfrog some teams ahead of the No. 8 Crimson Tide.
During an appearance on Paul Finebaum's nationally syndicated radio show, also simulcasted on the SEC Network, Sen. Tommy Tuberville responded to Finebaum's suggestion that he and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) were working on behalf of Alabama head football coach Nick Saban.
