Nothing is finalized yet, but Alabama football sits on the doorstep of the College Football Playoff.

The CFP rankings released Tuesday night fell exactly how the Crimson Tide needed them to fall. Alabama moved up to No. 11 after winning the Iron Bowl. That means, if the season ended today, the Crimson Tide would own the No. 11 seed and head to South Bend, Indiana to face Notre Dame.

The most significant part of Tuesday’s reveal was that Miami fell to No. 12 after it lost to Syracuse. Also, Ole Miss was ranked No. 13 and South Carolina was put in the No. 14 spot.

One of the biggest questions heading into the rankings Tuesday night was where these four teams would be ranked. Alabama, Ole Miss and South Carolina are all 9-3 and won’t play another game before Selection Day. Meanwhile, Miami is 10-2 but doesn’t have a top 25 victory.

It doesn’t sound like the order of these four teams will change, no matter what happens this weekend in conference championships.

“Any team that is not playing right now, we don’t have a data point to rearrange where we have those teams ranked,” CFP chair Warde Manuel said on ESPN. “That is set in terms of how we see them going into the final week of championship week. There’s nothing that’s going to change for us to evaluate any of them differently than we have now.

“Those teams who are not playing cannot be adjusted in terms of where they are compared to other teams that are not playing. But the championship teams, we will evaluate that data point to determine if there needs to be any movement based on how the performance of the game goes.”

A South Carolina woman who drank before getting behind the wheel and crashing into a golf cart carrying a newlyweds leaving their wedding reception was sentenced on Monday to 25 years in prison.

The punishment represented the maximum sentence for Jamie Lee Komoroski, 27, who pleaded guilty to reckless homicide, felony DUI causing death, and two counts of felony DUI causing great bodily injury.

Komoroski collided on April 28, 2023, with a golf cart outside of Folly Beach carrying the bride and groom, Samantha Miller and Aric Hutchinson, while driving 65 mph, over two times the beach road’s speed limit.

The cart was thrown 100 yards in the crash, leaving Hutchinson with a brain injury and broken bones, and killing Miller, who was still wearing her wedding dress. The crash injured two others in the cart as well.

“I wish I could go back and undo this terrible tragedy. But I cannot,” Komoroski said during her sentencing. “I will live the rest of my life with intense regret for what happened that night.”

She added that she realized she was addicted to alcohol at the time of the crash and vowed to dedicate her life to helping addicts.

The sentencing also featured Hutchinson sharing remarks about his immense loss.

“On the golf cart, she told me she didn’t want the night to end and I kissed her on the forehead and then the next thing I remember is waking up in the hospital,” he said.

The widower, who won a $863,000 settlement from three bars that served Komoroski before the crash, as well as her insurance firm and a rental car company, told WCSC he was satisfied with the sentence on Monday.

“I feel like the punishment fit the crime,” he said. “I do think she’s sorry. However, that doesn’t change the fact that Sam’s not here, my wife’s not here, the family we planned, all of our injuries. So that’ll take some time for sure.”

When police first encountered Komoroski, they could smell alcohol on her breath, and she refused to conduct a field sobriety test. A blood alcohol test revealed a level of 0.26 percent, more than three times the state’s legal limit to drive.

“She got to do what she wanted today, which was accept responsibility, fall on her sword cause obviously that is part of the healing not just for the families of the victims but for also her,” Komoroski’s attorney, Chris Gramiccioni, told WREG.

A South Carolina woman who was charged with killing a bride on her wedding night in a DUI crash last April pleaded guilty as her trial was set to begin on Monday.

Jury selection was set to begin in the trial of Jamie Komoroski, 27, who police said was more than three times the legal limit when she crashed into a golf cart carrying newlyweds Samantha Miller, 34, and her groom, Aric Hutchinson, 36, on their wedding night, killing Miller. 

A judge sentenced Komoroski to 25 years in prison after she pleaded guilty to one count of felony DUI, two counts of DUI causing great bodily injury or death and one count of reckless homicide, WCSC reported. 

When questioned about her decision to plead guilty to the charges, Komoroski told the court she was guilty, was not persuaded into entering the guilty pleas and was waiving a jury trial.

“I feel like the punishment fit the crime,” Hutchinson told WCSC after the sentencing. “I do think she’s sorry. However, that doesn’t change the fact that Sam’s not here, my wife’s not here, the family we planned, all of our injuries. So that’ll take some time for sure.”

Investigators say that on April 28, 2023, Komoroski was going 65 mph in a 25 mph zone when she slammed her rental car into Miller and her husband while they were leaving their reception in Folly Beach, South Carolina. 

Miller died from her injuries, while Hutchinson suffered two broken legs, multiple broken bones in his face and brain injuries. 

Hutchinson, along with Miller’s family, spoke before the court on Monday about the void that Komoroski left them with.

“Do you know what it’s like to vow to protect your wife, do nothing for her and then lose her hours later?” Hutchinson asked Komoroski.

“She told me she didn’t want the night to end, and I kissed her on the forehead, and then the next thing I remember is waking up in the hospital,” Hutchinson recalled.

Lisa Miller, the mother of the deceased bride, described to the court the pain she suffered and relived the last time she hugged her daughter, which was during a dance at the wedding reception just hours before the fatal crash.

Komoroski addressed the Miller and Hutchinson families and said she was ready to receive whatever punishment the judge saw fit for her choices.

“I am truly and deeply sorry. I take full responsibility for my actions,” Komoroski said. “For the rest of my life I will carry this guilt and take full responsibility.” 

Back in June, a South Carolina judge signed off on a $1.3 million partial settlement to the victims’ families stemming from a wrongful death lawsuit Hutchinson filed against Komoroski. 

The lawsuit alleges Komoroski had a “booze-filled day of bar hopping” and the establishments she visited that day had an obligation to “exercise due care” in serving alcoholic beverages.

The bars that served Komoroski prior to the crash and the rental car company she used will be on the hook for the seven-figure award.

Several of the businesses named in the lawsuit have settled with Hutchinson, which would net the parties involved $863,000 after fees, WCSC reported. 

Hutchinson’s lawyer, Danny Dalton, said the amount was less than anticipated due to an ongoing estate dispute between Hutchinson and the slain bride’s mother, who has challenged whether the pair were legally married.
