quote:
Alabama head coach Nick Saban has said on multiple occasions that the attention cast on the inaugural College Football Playoff took away from the other bowl games.
quote:
Saban repeated the sentiment earlier this week when he said he feared going into the playoff that “all the attention, all the interest would be about the four teams in the playoffs” and “that by having a playoff we would minimize the interest in other bowl games, which I think is sort of what happened and I hate to see that for college football."
quote:
Jeff Long, the CFP selection committee chair, doesn’t think a coach like Saban – who is so accustomed to success at the highest level – can necessarily judge the interest in the lower-level bowls
quote:
"Well, I think sometimes coaches, particularly those at the highest level, I'm not sure how aware they are of what's really going on out there in the real world," Long said on Sports Talk with Bo Mattingly, per Al.com. "You know, bowl games, they keep adding bowl games. And I think the television interest for the games is higher than ever before, so I think that's not only the College Football Playoff, but as we've gone through some of those bowl games. So I'm not sure it's having that effect."

Jeff Long, the guy that changed the poll criteria each week that the new poll was released? Let me know his thoughts after the next wind shift. Flip flop, must be an Arkansas strength.

Poor little Saban....Jeff will make it harder for your team to make the playoff now.

This is the first thing I've seen Jeff Long say that I appreciate.

Can someone please tell me how he is wrong? It's not like he's complaining about having a playoff as he followed up his statement by saying that college football should choose a system and stick with it. Either do away with the bowls and have just a playoff, or do away with the playoff and leave the bowl system intact.
What is so controversial about those two statements?

Saban can/does have an opinion and so does Long...what's the big deal? Folks that jump at everything a particular individual says are, by definition....OBSESSED.

Saban said this last week at the Regions golf tournament. I knew when I heard it that it would eventually be turned against him. People will gloss over what he's saying. He stated similar things about the BCS format.
