ESPN college football analyst Joey Galloway may want to stay out of Alabama after calling the Crimson Tide overrated

The Alabama Crimson Tide got back in the win column on Saturday with a 14-13 win over the Arkansas Razorbacks after they blew a fourth quarter lead the week before against the Ole Miss Rebels, but the narrow win was enough for ESPN college football analyst Joey Galloway to label Nick Saban’s team as overrated and not worthy of their ranking in the top 10.

Alabama didn’t play their best game against an Arkansas team who has not won an SEC game since the 2012 season and if not for a fumble in the end zone by Arkansas, a poor snap and hold on a field goal try and a blocked extra point, the Hogs pull off a stunning upset over the No. 7 ranked team in the nation.

The Crimson Tide did not run the ball as effectively as they normally do and only finished with 66 yards on the ground, quarterback Blake Sims only completed 11-of-21 passes, and they were 4-15 on third downs.

Does that sound like one of the best teams in the country to you?

It doesn’t to Galloway who tells the Paul Finebaum Show that Alabama is not a top-1o team and are overrated.

Uh oh!!! @Joey_Galloway tells us "Alabama is not a top 10 team." Says Tide is overrated.

This is obviously not going to be received well by the Alabama fan base, many of whom are listeners and watchers of the program on the SEC Network and I’m sure the next few hours of callers will either be for those agreeing with Gallorway’s assessment of the Alabama team or completely disagreeing with him by using sound rational thought and logic to get their point across.

Which side do you come in on? Overrated or appropriately rated?
