Poor Paul Finebaum is probably out on the window ledge right now. ☹

Michigan fan here God bless Alabama and Nick Saban they are legends and they will be back stronger than ever next year you all should be proud of your season you are one of the greatest teams in history God bless Alabama coaches players and fans

Very good man right there. You guys had a great season and a lot to be proud of taking down the beast in Georgia with everything you dealt with. Wishing you all my best from a Wolverine fan. 👍👍

Congrats to Michigan 🏈, they are a real good/tough team. That was an extremely physical game, still proud of Bama🏈! Roll Tide and good luck to Michigan in the championship.

Just keep running up the middle and don't bounce anything outside is a good way to lose a game.

A class act and a legendary coach. As a Michigan native, I'm beyond happy for this win. Now, one more game, for al the marbles.

Bama’s play calling was very inconsistent. We had success running the ball but kept trying to pass and Michigan’s defense overwhelmed Milroe with pressure.

[charlesmcglinchy]

Two great teams. Could have went either way. Hats off to both Alabama and Michigan.

Paul Finebaum's ears got a little longer and he got sadder with Alabama's loss to Michigan . Sorry Paulie

[jofi]

Finebaums social media has got to be under attack right now 😂.

Couldn't happen to a better person.

What class Saban showed lol.. Never did he say what really happened that Michigan won the line of scrimmage battle and they couldn't do bully ball like they did on Georgia.. Saban should have said that's why they are ranked #1 Defense in college football and they couldn't get going because of Michigan's Defense.. I can't understand why a kid would go to Bama after watching this and not take accountability.. .

Was an awesome game. This is one of Nick sabans best coaching jobs ever. Brand new coordinators on both sides. Didn’t know who our qb was a couple games in… in week 3, everyone said this was sabans worst team ever and couldn’t wait to play Alabama.. we beat all our rivals and nobody wanted to play them by the end of the year. Roll tide and congrats to Michigan

I love Coach Saban, always a class act. This is from a Michigan Alum.

[nickdtv]

Gotta give it up for Saban. Still one of the best coaching jobs he has had

[albertperson]

He's a great coach with a humble attitude.

[Jackonwheelz]

I'm a lifelong Wolverine fan, but 'Bama will always be 'Bama... a dynasty. And you're lucky to have Saban, he's a legend.

[JoeKlunder]

This was a very good, close game. The fact that Alabama gave 100% effort to the very end, against a #1 team, still makes them as worthy a team as ever.

[stevlarenvaylor]

I think 49 out of 50 states was rooting for Michigan

[EricLussier-nono]

Much respect to you sir .greatest job of coaching you've ever done..I would have Loved playing for you..

[garybrown]

I bet he was thinking I wonder if my office is cleaned out yet😂
