Alabama head coach Nick Saban is not a fan of the proposed three teams the Crimson Tide would play under a nine-game SEC conference schedule.
"They said they did a 10-year whatever," the coach said."Well, some of those years, Tennessee wasn’t as good as they’ve been in the previous 10 years, but now they are as good as they used to be before those 10 years.
Head coach Josh Heupel of the Tennessee Volunteers celebrates a win over the Alabama Crimson Tide with a cigar at Neyland Stadium on October 15, 2022 in Knoxville, Tennessee. "We got three teams, and two of them are in the top 10, and the other is in the top 10 a lot," Saban added."Look historically over a 25-year history, and the three best teams in the East are Georgia, Tennessee and Florida. You look historically at 25 years, Alabama, LSU and Auburn are the three best teams in the West. So we’re playing them all."
While the Vols have struggled over the past decade, Tennessee has won the third-most football championships with 13. The eight-game conference schedule would be straightforward, with teams more than likely facing their rivals each season.
