    Who just watched the live interview with Saban?

    Of course he thinks they should be in the playoffs, Duh!!!! Funny while talking about the tough teams they had to play that he failed to mention the 2 cupcakes they blew out, AP and LM. Injured players and circumstances should matter, what happened to next man up?
    That was a sad interview.

    It was pathetic. He came off as just entitled and none of the hosts asked a single hard question.

    I refused to watch Saban prostitute himself in such a degrading way. He's pathetic and Fox is sad for giving him the platform to push his agenda. He's done this before, but I cannot recall during a championship game where any other coach is allowed to take up time begging for a spot in the CFP.

    I guess he could have said if you don't win your conference championship you don't deserve to be in the playoffs. Oh wait, he used to say that until bama didn't win the conference then he switched to believing you do deserve to be! Blah blah blah....

    Exactly, he says what he has to has to say in order for the team to benefit from it....no other coach is gonna do anything different...

    Really? He shouldn't have even been on live TV begging to get in before the committee decides, how many other coaches get to do that? If he owned it and said they shouldn't be in we would have agreed with him, end of story.

    They gave him the platform because TCU got beat...had they won he probably wouldn't have gotten that opportunity....that's the end of the story...

    You don't see other coaches on their knees begging, because they aren't allowed the opportunity. Tenn should get in before bama and I've yet to see a national network give their coach a chance to get on his knees.

    That's because their QB is out for the year...it's not the same team without hooker..

    Was Bama favored against Ohio State way back at the beginning of this playoff system? Yes, were they then beaten by a 3rd string quarterback named Cardale Jones? Also yes. Who's favored is a joke at this point, anyone can get beat in any given game.
