Alabama Football's Roller Coaster Weekend Settles in Playoffs on The Joe Gaither Show

Let's have a massive Monday edition of "The Joe Gaither Show on BamaCentral" with Theo Fernandez as we bring you two hours of content to dissect the weekend action. The first hour of the program focuses on what went wrong in Atlanta as the Crimson Tide was flattened by the Georgia Bulldogs in the SEC Championship Game. The second hour wades into the College Football Playoff selection show and Alabama's inclusion in the field with a discussion on the entire field and the Crimson Tide's chances to win it all. We finish the second hour of the show by highlighting Alabama's basketball victory over UTSA.
