Kirk Herbstreit was once again the target of internet trolls following Alabama’s loss to Michigan on Tuesday, and the longtime ESPN analyst has fired back.
Herbstreit has taken a lot of heat from fans in recent weeks over his perceived bias toward Alabama. During the “College Football Playoff Selection Show” earlier this month, Herbstreit said the committee had a difficult decision to make with the three-loss Crimson Tide, who had wins over three Top 25 teams this season.
Many fans felt the Tide did not even deserve to be in the CFP conversation after they lost to Vanderbilt and were blown out by Oklahoma. Herbstreit acknowledged that the Oklahoma loss was “embarrassing” for the Crimson Tide, but that has not stopped people from accusing him of being a Bama cheerleader.
More recently, Herbstreit questioned Indiana’s inclusion in the College Football Playoff.
Alabama suffered its fourth loss of the season on Tuesday when it fell 19-13 to Michigan in the ReliaQuest Bowl. That led to another round of Herbstreit bashing.
