Nick Saban discussed the the current landscape of college football and how it could give more teams a chance to compete.
standings are a mess this season. LSU and Texas A&M are on top at the moment with no conference losses, and will face each other Saturday for the lead, while five teams have one league defeat.“There’s more parity in the SEC because I think players want to come to the SEC,” Saban said. “The system that we have now allows more players with more experience and proven quality to be able to come to the SEC. In other words, it doesn’t have to just be recruiting.
To further illustrate his point, Saban referred to one of his ex-assistants, Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin. The interview with McAfee was taking place on campus at Indiana, where ESPN’s College Gameday is located this week. The Hoosiers are undefeated, one of the best starts in the history of what is traditionally a woebegone program in the Big Ten.
“Right now it’s about money,” Saban said. “There’s a lot of things that just come down money. Where players go to school comes down to money. So if you have a collective and you have money, you’re going to have an opportunity to be successful. You’re gonna be able to retain the players on your team that you want to retain, almost like a pro team.
