Media torches Nick Saban, Alabama after Playoff hopes dashed - 247Sports

Much like the New York Yankees bowing out in the postseason or the Golden State Warriors' dynasty coming to a crashing halt, it's never easy being at the top and the fall is  recognized by many.

Alabama is picking up the pieces following Saturday's unexpected 48-45 loss at Auburn, a setback that squandered any remaining hopes at getting back to the College Football Playoff for Nick Saban's team.

“Very, very disappointing," Saban said after the game. "I know our fans are disappointed, but I can promise you that our players are disappointed, and we’re all very, very disappointed. It’s my responsibility to get our team to do these things better, and that certainly will be the goal in the future.”

Ranked just outside the top four coming into the Iron Bowl, the Crimson Tide committed 13 penalties, gave away two touchdowns via interception returns for scores and didn't execute well enough on special teams to beat a quality opponent on the road.

“The disappointing thing to me is we came here with the idea that we needed to play with a lot of discipline, not get a lot of penalties, do a great job of executing and doing our job on a consistent basis, people holding and being accountable so that we can get the kind of execution that we’d like to get and people make decisions through their discipline that’s going to put the team first and help enhance the team’s chances of being successful," Saban said. "And I don’t think we did that great. We got way too many penalties, put ourselves in too many bad situations."

Here's some of the reaction from media members following Alabama's loss that ended the Crimson Tide's final four aspirations:
