re: Nick Saban lobbying for an 8-game conference schedule

Nick Saban is a lot of things. Scared of other SEC teams is not one of them.

You’re right he is calculating and always doing what is 100% best for him and the school he is coaching. For the one coach who for over a decade could only have a successful season by winning a national championship, it never made sense to add another conference game which could be Georgia or Florida. But when every other coach was against going to nine games, it had ZERO chance of becoming reality. Therefore, Nick could be for it with no chance of having to deal with it. Now that it might happen, he is no longer for it. Nick is many things as you said, and dumb isn’t one of them.
