There's no shame in Alabama losing a College Football Playoff game. There's no excuse for losing the Rose Bowl 38-3 to Indiana even if Curt Cignetti and the Hoosiers are the national champions in waiting. Kalen DeBoer's second Alabama season veered wildly from the highest highs to the lowest lows, and the ending left a bad taste in everyone's mouth. Are four-loss seasons the new normal for the Crimson Tide? Can DeBoer cross what he called the fine line between losing badly in the quarterfinals to winning a national title? Is it RIP for the SEC? Kevin Scarbinsky breaks down the CFP beatdown and examines where the Tide goes from here on the first 2026 episode of Scarbo Knows.Support the showFollow Kevin on X: https://x.com/kevinscarbinskyRead Kevin in The Birmingham News: https://www.al.com/sports/Watch Kevin on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KevinScarbinsky-ScarboKnows

If the CFP Quarterfinal at the Rose Bowl were all about history and tradition, Indiana would have no chance to beat Alabama. But since Curt Cignetti got to Indiana and Kalen DeBoer arrived at Alabama, the Hoosiers have been the better program. Who will be better on New Year's Day?

No one believes in this Alabama football team. No one outside the Crimson Tide locker room, at least, but that's really all that matters. Alabama should believe it's a better team than it's been in weeks because it's healthier. Alabama should believe it's a better team than Oklahoma, despite that two-point loss last month, because it outplayed the Sooners that day. On the latest episode of Scarbo Knows, Kevin Scarbinsky tells you why he believes Alabama is about to get its revenge, get back some respect and go back to the future with a little crimson deja vu.Support the showFollow Kevin on X: https://x.com/kevinscarbinskyRead Kevin in The Birmingham News: https://www.al.com/sports/Watch Kevin on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KevinScarbinsky-ScarboKnows

For the second time in recent weeks, Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer went public to shoot down speculation that he might leave for a Big Ten school. First, Penn State. Now, Michigan. On the latest episode of Scarbo Knows, veteran Alabama sports journalist Kevin Scarbinsky explains why you should believe DeBoer, why suggestions that he's on the hot seat right now are absurd, why Damien Harris should stop living in the past and why it still would be in DeBoer's best interest not to lose again to Oklahoma.Support the showFollow Kevin on X: https://x.com/kevinscarbinskyRead Kevin in The Birmingham News: https://www.al.com/sports/Watch Kevin on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KevinScarbinsky-ScarboKnows

What would the 2025 College Football Playoff be without a little controversy? The committee arrived at the right result with Alabama and Miami in and Notre Dame out, but they took a twisted road to get there. One day after dancing on Alabama's grave after its SEC Championship beatdown by Georgia, Auburn fans are bemoaning another Bama bump. Meanwhile, Notre Dame's Four Horsemen declined to ride into a bowl game.

Will Alabama, after winning its sixth straight Iron Bowl to advance to the SEC Championship Game, not make the College Football Playoff if the Tide loses a rematch with Georgia? Will Alex Golesh be Pat Dye with a passing game as Auburn's new head coach or another offensive guru not ready for prime time on the Plains?

The better team almost always wins the Iron Bowl, although usually not without some drama along the way, especially when the game is played in Auburn. Alabama at 9-2 is playing for a spot in the SEC Championship Game and the College Football Playoff. Auburn at 5-6 is playing to go to a minor bowl. Will the haunted house that is Jordan-Hare Stadium bedevil the Crimson Tide again? Or will Alabama put down its rival for the sixth straight year?

Losing to Oklahoma at home was bad for Alabama. Gifting the Sooners three turnovers and a botched field goal in a 23-21 defeat was worse. But the worst thing of all for Kalen DeBoer and the Crimson Tide? They put themselves in the worst possible position because they put their playoff hopes on the line in the Iron Bowl in Auburn. As Nick Saban said, "That place is haunted, man."

In the span of three days, Alabama will play host to two of the biggest games in the country in two different sports. The No. 8 Alabama basketball team will meet No. 2 Purdue, and the No. 4 Alabama football team will tangle with No. 11 Oklahoma.

In its first game after firing Hugh Freeze, Auburn lost again, this time 45-38 at Vanderbilt in overtime, but the offense showed a pulse and the fan base embraced interim coach DJ Durkin for the passion he displayed in his postgame presser. Is he a legitimate candidate to get the full-time head coaching position on the Plains? Should he be? Or would Auburn be making another big mistake?

Everyone's talking about LSU and Auburn, two football programs in turmoil in search of new head coaches. No one's talking about Alabama, which has quietly put itself in SEC and national championship contention. In his second year with the Crimson Tide, Kalen DeBoer deserves credit for making the post-Nick Saban transition as smooth as possible. Kevin Scarbinsky compares and contrasts the calm at Alabama with the chaos at two of its rivals on the latest episode of Scarbo Knows.Support the showFollow Kevin on X: https://x.com/kevinscarbinskyRead Kevin in The Birmingham News: https://www.al.com/sports/Watch Kevin on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KevinScarbinsky-ScarboKnows

The inevitable end of the Hugh Freeze error at Auburn came Sunday after the most humiliating of his 19 losses with the Tigers. Changing quarterbacks and failing to score a touchdown at home against Kentucky underscored the point that the game has passed Freeze by. After Freeze and Bryan Harsin, can Auburn get a football hire right for once?

When the SEC says "It Just Means More," this is what it means: Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry holding a press conference about SNAP benefits and veering wildly off the road into something his state's residents really care about: LSU football and who's going to be the next coach after Brian Kelly got fired. Landry ripped LSU AD Scott Woodward and super agent Jimmy Sexton. He got some facts wrong, but hey, he was on a roll.
