From his press conference this morning....

quote:

Q. Do you think it'll facilitate the dominance of the SEC when we go to the four-team playoff, that you have that chance to keep going and don't have to be one of the top two teams?

COACH NICK SABAN: You know, I don't really know how to answer that. I just know that when you -- we've had a playoff already in the SEC, because the games that we've played in, we played in the SEC Championship game three times, played Florida twice; we were 1-2. Played Georgia this year, we were 2-3.

Georgia is five yards from being here. So we've already kind of had that.

Now, if we're going to have that game and play those teams to get in the Final Four, if we're going to keep that format, I don't know if that enhances our chances or not because we may be eliminating a team, if that's the scenario, that would have been in the Final Four that may not be after they lose that game, which I think would be incredibly unfair, especially if every other conference doesn't have a championship game to play in. You shouldn't be able to sneak your way in. If we're going to have to play our way in, let's play our way in, everybody.


Gotta agree. Big 12 needs to man up and get a CG going again.

It's like he forgot all about the BCSCG in the Dome last year. Dude had to be trolling LSU fans at this point.

Tried to get in a semi-quality response before the pyrotechnics started

Now I'm all waiting for the show to start

Agreed. And given their nature do you know the kind of opponent they'd add to the conference? Houston, Tulane, Southern Miss, SMU, Tulsa.

You have your short list. Value added.

I bet if it starts to hurt the conference Slive would consider it. I personally like the SEC Championship. It actually means something.
