He doesnt like the play off games being played as bowl games. What he says goes.

I haven't even read his exact quotes yet, though I have an idea of what they were from reading tRant. Before the playoff, bowl season seemed like a gradual build up of awesome until bam, the NC.
Last year seemed weird to me. The bowl games just seemed to be an annoyance that got in the way of playoff discussion. I don't know if anyone else felt that way, and I'm not really sure if I'm bitching or not, but I don't really think I enjoyed the CFB postseason as much as I usually do.

Saban just realizes he isn't likely going to win another NC playing 2 top 5 teams to finish the year and wants the playoff gone. He knows they won't do away with all bowl games.
He just needs to get with the times or retire. No one wants to hear him crying every single year about how the rules should be made to give him the easy route.
It's no different than before. The top BCS bowls over shadowed the small bowls just like the Playoff does now. The people going to the bowls are the fans of the 2 schools playing and if it's not the NC game it doesn't matter to them how the NCG is setup. BCS or playoff.

Almost every year has been a clusterfrick. Actually liked last year, the winner played to win who otherwise wouldn't have got the opportunity. If that cheapens the other bowl games, or not, make it to the big game or stop bitching.

Playoffs fricking suck. It's not college football

I think Saban remembers a time when going to a bowl meant something. So what if you don't have a great team that year? You aren't going to have one year in and year out - let the kids enjoy themselves (and have some sense of accomplishment) without feeling like losers for going 8-5.
And . . . the major bowls seem to not be so major now unless you have a playoff spot.

Saban is upset because under the previous year's two team, single game game BCS championship, Alabama would have probably played Florida St. It would have really been difficult to put a one loss Oregon or Ohio State above an FSU team on a 27 game winning streak. His "sometimes champions don't always get trophies" comment after losing the game to Ohio State also seemed a bit strange to me. He doesn't accept losing well.

it's obvious that Saban and you don't give a shite about the athletes.
saban's statement is arrogant as hell because he's only giving his prospective at Alabama. I can assure you with 100% accuracy his MSU team was damn happy with an Independence Bowl appearance before he was hired by LSU.
your agreeing to it shows you do not have much prespective. there are many, many, many coaches and players that would disagree with you both. in fact, it think it highly likely that the VAST MAJORITY of people that are PARTICIPANTS in college football (coaches, players, athletic dept employees, etc) that like to go to bowl games and these games ARE NOT IRRELEVANT TO THEM).
It is obvious you never participated in college sports. it is NOT all about the fans; the players count too.
