Nick Saban weighs in on the College Football Playoffs
What was said
"Well, me personally, I think that people want to see the best 12 teams in the playoffs. I think to get to a 12-team playoff, we had to do what was politically correct and we included some of the s- schools that weren't in the power conferences."
Nick Saban, speaking as a guest on Theo Von’s podcast, says fans want to see the “best 12 teams” in the College Football Playoff, but argues that moving to a 12-team format involved “politically correct” inclusion of schools outside the power conferences. He also says the sport needs better metrics for judging strength of schedule when selecting playoff teams.
