During C-SPAN's coverage of Donald Trump's inauguration, a caller expressed disappointment over both Trump's re-election and the College Football Playoff selection committee's decision to exclude Alabama from the championship game.
The CFP national championship game between Notre Dame and Ohio State happens to fall on the same day as Donald Trump ’s inauguration as the 47th president of the United States for his second non-consecutive term in office.
A solemn time for many, one caller phoned into C-SPAN’s inauguration coverage in Washington D.C. on Monday with a rather specific gripe about the state of the nation. Graham in Jersey City, New Jersey expressed his distaste for Trump’s re-election before issuing a complaint to the College Football Playoff selection committee for leaving Alabama out of the playoff field:
“A bit disappointed with how the election turned out, I think it would have been great to see a female president inaugurated today,” Graham said. “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 instead picking inferior teams like SMU and Indiana.
