Alabama head coach Nick Saban won't single out LSU as a special rivalry -- the school has multiple big rivalries, he says -- but credits LSU's success for adding interest to the game.

"LSU has become a little bit of a rivalry game because their program has become so good," Saban said. "This game usually has a lot of significance coming down to the ninth game of the season because we've had some success too. That's what's made it a national interest game, that's what's made it a rivalry game and that's what's made it an important game. So it's a real compliment to them."

100% true. It's a "rivalry" now unlike before only because both teams are really good. Nothing really wrong or crazy with that statement


So of course I expect massive butthurt.

It's much more important than Tennessee. That game is useless for Bama because of Tennessee's irrelevance.

All rivalries start somewhere, then die off if they become irrelevant over time. Since 2007 LSU and alabama has had a pretty intense rivalry. If it continues, which it looks like it will, it will eventually become one of the biggest in the SEC.

Kind of a weird thing to say considering he brought us out of the gutter that was the 90's.

???? Saban. You're such a swell guy. Giving us a backhanded compliment will do so much to help our self-esteem.

You're just our Florida right now. We never have thought of you as a big rival. It's as if Ole Miss suddenly became elite at the same time we were, and we had their old coach. Truly no different than that
