Nick Saban Did Not Vote For Alabama To Be #1, Instead He Voted For...Clemson
Matt Bush-USA TODAY Sports
The College Football Rankings Week 15 came out on Sunday and again Alabama was #1 heading into the College Football Playoff. However, it's been revealed that Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban didn't vote for his team. Per AL.com...

With the final coaches poll comes a bonus. The ballot of each voter is published and Nick Saban’s has an interesting order.

The Alabama coach voted Clemson No. 1 and his Crimson Tide No. 2, according to the USA Today database of the ballots. Notre Dame was No. 3 and Oklahoma, the Orange Bowl opponent, No. 4.

Alabama was No. 1 in the final poll and received all but two first-place votes.

Funny that he didn’t have that kind of “integrity” when voting for OSU in 2011.

There was no objective reason to place Stanford at 3 and OSU at 4.

Nick voting like 95% of the sane people would vote.
