The Oregon Debate with Sutton Smith on The Joe Gaither Show

The Crimson Tide is still ranked eighth in the College Football Playoff Poll on The Joe Gaither Show | Episode 121: Nov. 15, 2023.

It's a great hump day on "The Joe Gaither Show on BamaCentral" as we've made it halfway through the week. We welcome Sutton Smith from WVUA23's Digital News room to talk about Alabama athletics and what's happening in the Crimson Corner of the world.

The initial part of the discussion centers around Alabama's 102-46 win over the South Alabama Jaguars on Tuesday night in basketball. The Tide has won its first three games by significant margins and cleared 100-points in each of them.

There's no way this team could actually be better than last year's double-SEC Championship team is there?

The program moves to the meat of the conversation which is the latest College Football Playoff rankings. The Crimson Tide didn't move up a single spot, despite beating LSU and Kentucky in the previous two weeks.

Is it time to get concerned that Alabama will end up out of this year's playoffs even if they successfully win the remaining three-games on the schedule?

Why is Oregon really ahead of Alabama? Did the College Football Playoff committee get sucked into social media hype that boosts the Ducks to this day?

Smith moves us into a Jalen Milroe discussion as we talk about how this Alabama team is playing on offense over the last few weeks. Did anyone believe Milroe could be this dangerous for the Crimson Tide?

What does his season mean for Alabama's future quarterbacks? Julian Sayin is enrolling in late December, will he now be in line for a redshirt season?
