Nick Saban: P5s should only play P5s
Guess some have seen this reference.
Saban doesn't want p5s to play anyone except other p5s.

Funny as Saban is notorious for scheduling the easiest non-conference schedule in the FBS

Hey, let'em and when they're record starts to suffer they'll want the G5's and FCS's back.

The SEC can schedule more teams from the other division. Maybe that will shut them up.

Considering the last non-SEC team to beat Saban/Alabama at home was a lowly Sun Belt School 03-nutkick

ULM 21
Saban 14

Am sure they came up with some good reasons that UL Monroe beat
Alabama. Long snapper had a hang nail. Someone smoked something they shouldn't have six months before.

He's still smarting when ULM beat them. They are going to make college football a snooze fest. I'm a Saints fan but if they aren't good I find something else to do. Even if the Cajuns are 0-11 I will watch.

Team needs you even more when they are down.
Finally saw it last year. Don't want to see it again.

Dude likes to hear his name on ESPN then end, he is full of it but gets away with it because he wins.

RE: Nick Saban: P5s should only play P5s
P5 only playing P5 is great on paper. But realistically only about 8-12 schools could do it and survive. And only 5-7 could do it and win more games than not.

It's just not feasible for 90% of the P5 schools to even think about doing. And they know it.

Now if you wanna take those 8-12 schools and set themselves up as a minor league football conference then I say go for it. But just remember your school is tax exempt under the NCAA and not the individual school.

And they would still have to play the other P5 schools in order to have most of them win a majority of their home games ... so they'd just reproduce the same issue, except at a higher level, "should the NFL College Minor League play just themselves, or should they play NCAA P5 schools too?"

The unspoken assumption in the "we should play all of those good schools" is (which we will, more often than not, beat) ... and the unspoken assumption cannot be true at once for any set of "good schools" you want to put a fence around.

Because just like if you take an average of the views of all parents, children are on average seen as being above average ... if you take an average of the views of all fans of a sport, the teams are on average seen as being above average.
