We want to be kings of everything-Mark it down, Nick Saban has spoken, Alabama Crimson Tide makes the Playoff
“Nick Saban Declares Alabama Deserves a Playoff Spot: No More Debate”
The argument is officially settled. Nick Saban, the authority on college football, has made it clear that the Alabama Crimson Tide should be in the Playoff. No more questioning whether the 9-3 Tide are more deserving than the 11-2 SMU team. Saban’s expertise leaves no room for doubt.
Alabama’s Playoff fate hinges on SMU’s outcome against Clemson. If Clemson wins, Alabama’s chances are in jeopardy, as SMU could stay ahead of them in rankings. But if SMU loses, Alabama is a lock for the Playoff.
In a conversation with Pat McAfee, Saban highlighted why the Selection Committee must make a tough, yet necessary decision. He stressed the importance of strength of schedule and victories against quality teams. “How many good teams did you beat?” he asked, emphasizing that a tough schedule is key to ensuring competitive games and promoting better overall matchups. He warned against rewarding teams that win many games but haven’t faced a ranked opponent.
With former coaches on the Committee, including Gary Pinkel and Mike Riley, agreeing with Saban’s perspective, it’s clear that his argument stands strong. While some may accuse him of bias, Saban’s voice has always been one rooted in fairness and the overall health of college football.
