Didn't we discuss this before on here & how he was pushing for MORE conf. games?
For years he did advocate for a 9 game sec schedule. Why he changed I don’t know BUT I can assume that adding Texas and Oklahoma changed that. No one wants a schedule with Auburn, LSU, Texas or Oklahoma, Gerogia, Tennessee every other year. Name of the game is to get to the playoffs. I don’t know that it would matter as much now that we are going to a 12 game playoff.

Well it’s obvious imho. Alabama was rumored to get AU/UT/LSU as permanent rivals. They would have been the only program to have three big6 programs locked in every year. Everyone else would have a cupcake locked in.
Saban isn’t paid 9mil a year to put Bama in a bad position. It’s a competitive imbalance that he rightly pointed out.
