This postseason rivalry with Dabo Swinney's team is similar to a few Alabama has in SEC play, Saban said.

"I think it's not a lot different than sorta what the LSU game has become a game every year or the Auburn game every year in the Iron Bowl and the tradition of that rivalry," Saban said. "They've been very, very good and we've been pretty good ... that kind of creates its own little rivalry and tradition in its own right."

I mean, I love Saban, but obviously he’s completely wrong here. Maybe he’s talking about from the players’ perspective?

Alabama-Clemson has now become one of those "must-watch" games of the year, much like how Alabama-LSU used to be.

After 7 straight wins, you're not. You guys are a baseball school anyway, so why do you get offended over comments from our football coach?

You are a fricking idiot! I will not dispute Bama has won a bunch in a row but there has been a lot of luck mixed in there too and 2or 3 games LSU should have won. Gumps conveniently forget LSU won 5 strait before this Gump streak. That was all post 2000 a-hole so stop acting like we’ve never beaten you before.

Ah yes. Back when everyone was beating us. Also had a 6 game losing streak to Auburn and a poor record against Tennessee.

To anyone over 25, you are not a rivalry.

Period.

A great game, yes. Not a rival. Saban called AU one, not LSU.
