Nick Saban lobbies for Alabama to get in CFP field with one loss regardless of scenario
ATHENS — Alabama football does not have control of its destiny as it enters into the SEC Championship Game on Saturday.

Can someone remind me when was the last time Kirby lobbied for the playoff?? Was it the year that ND was put in @#4 and got blown out in the semis.
Or did he?
Saban seems to do this every year
CKS is singularly focused on winning the actual game, not distracted by CFP politics. Good sign for Dawgs.
I respect Saban's accomplishments. I do not share in admiration for the man. His meltdowns on the sidelines and berating people in public is appalling. His sniveling about the CFP is pathetic. We are blessed that CKS did not pick up those traits during his time at Alabama. CKS is cool, calm, and 100% focused on winning.
Go Dawgs!
Saban has become embarrassing.
Really excellent post!
“We are blessed that CKS did not pick up those [pathetic Saban] traits during his time at Alabama. CKS is cool, calm, and 100% focused on winning.”
I could not agree with this more!
Go Dawgs! Hate on Bama!

Coach Saban needs to focus his energy on lobbying for a good New Years Day bowl after they lose to Georgia. Sounds rather presumptuous of him to just assume that his team will be the number one team in the nation in their home state's stadium. Milroe is a good dual threat QB, but how many times have we read over the past three years about the next batter up's big QB or whatever who is going to run over the Dawgs? Hasn't happened, has it? I think that UGA's defense will sufficiently contain Milroe to let our QB score over 40 points. Let the games begin!
Nick Saban really needs to consider retirement after this season is over. He has lost the eye of the tiger. He is moving slower. Does he want to leave the ring as the GOAT or does he want to leave as the sparring partner with a cauliflower ear? Recommend option number one.
Don't fall for the hype, folks. If not for an unbelievably **** defensive scheme on the last play of the game by Auburn, Alabama would have lost against them last week. Auburn's DC should be fired for his stupidity.
Agree with Nick. If they win, they're in. Their resume is better overall than the Longhorns, having then beaten more ranked teams and upsetting the #1 undefeated Dawgs. Even if TX beats lowly OK State, it won't matter. The head-to-head win against Bama was Week 2. Bama is a much improved team. If they beat us then they would definitely be one of the 4 BEST teams.
Fortunately, Nick isn't going to win Saturday so it's all a mute point. HA!!
Objection. Assumes facts not in evidence (namely having won the game). I hope his players are equally thinking about Selection Sunday instead of SEC Saturday.
