LOOK: Alabama fans showing plenty of love for TCU on Twitter
The game that is most important to the Alabama Crimson Tide on Saturday isn’t the SEC Championship Game between Auburn and Georgia.
The winner of that game will be in the College Football Playoff and the loser will be out — it’s really that simple.
No, the Tide will instead have their eyes on a pair of other title games — the Big 12 and Big Ten matchups. If either Oklahoma or Wisconsin loses (to TCU and Ohio State, respectively), the Crimson Tide could land in the top four.
Therefore, as the Big 12 Championship Game has kicked off this afternoon, Alabama fans are taking to Twitter to show some love for the Horned Frogs:

Love my friends and respect their pride for OU. But I have to be a TCU fan today out of the possibility of Alabama getting in to the playoff.

I don't mean to upset any of my friends and family in Oklahoma, but I have to root for #TCU to win today against y'alls #Sooners. Not because of how much I despise them as a Texas boy (ok, maybe some), but because my #Alabama boys are counting on it. #CollegeGameday

The game isn’t off to a great start for Crimson Tide fans, though, as Oklahoma drove down the field for a field goal on its first drive of the game. TCU then fumbled on the ensuing possession and trails 10-0 less than five minutes into the first quarter.
