X map shows Alabama is most hated CFP team across U.S.

Alabama's controversial inclusion in the College Football Playoff has earned the Crimson Tide a lot of haters.

A map created by Betonline.ag using geotagged data from X, formerly known as Twitter, gathered since the final CFP rankings were announced last Sunday shows Alabama is by far the most hated of the top four teams across the United States. The map is based on over 150,000 tweets containing negative phrases related to each team.

Alabama, which jumped ahead of undefeated Florida State for the No. 4 spot in the rankings, was the most disliked team in 42 states. No. 1 Michigan and No. 3 Texas were the runner-ups with three states each, followed by No. 2 Washington with two states.

Alabama will face Michigan in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1, with Texas and Washington meeting in the Sugar Bowl that same day.
