Q. Do you think it'll facilitate the dominance of the SEC when we go to the four-team playoff, that you have that chance to keep going and don't have to be one of the top two teams?
COACH NICK SABAN: You know, I don't really know how to answer that. I just know that when you -- we've had a playoff already in the SEC, because the games that we've played in, we played in the SEC Championship game three times, played Florida twice; we were 1-2. Played Georgia this year, we were 2-3.

Georgia is five yards from being here. So we've already kind of had that.

Now, if we're going to have that game and play those teams to get in the Final Four, if we're going to keep that format, I don't know if that enhances our chances or not because we may be eliminating a team, if that's the scenario, that would have been in the Final Four that may not be after they lose that game, which I think would be incredibly unfair, especially if every other conference doesn't have a championship game to play in. You shouldn't be able to sneak your way in. If we're going to have to play our way in, let's play our way in, everybody.

Unless it benefits you like last season, right Nicky?

Urban Meyer wants Nick Saban?s coaching staff to be raided

One could sense the bitterness and jealous coming from Urban Meyer as he spoke on ESPN?s postgame show following Alabama?s win over Notre Dame in the National Championship Game. The Crimson Tide had just won its third national championship in four seasons, and it was clear the program had done something Meyer did not think was possible.
?There was a time where I really believed that couldn?t be done because of the parity in college football,? Meyer said on ESPN?s postgame show. ?The SEC ? you saw Georgia, LSU and A&M take Alabama right to the ropes, so I really didn?t think that could be done.?
Meyer, whose Ohio State Buckeyes went 12-0, understands how difficult it is to build a dynasty in college football. You have to bring in the top recruits each year, hope they develop properly, and you need little calls or plays go your way in several games. There is also a lot of turnover to overcome; players graduate, transfer, and turn pro, and assistant coaches leave for other jobs. Knowing all this, Meyer, who won two national championships at Florida, can?t believe that Nick Saban has been able to build such a dominant dynasty at Alabama. He even made it clear after Bama beat Notre Dame that he hopes Saban?s coaching staff gets raided in order to weaken the program.
?He doesn?t lose coaches. I?m still trying to figure that out. We had that thing going at Florida and it was a turnstyle ? head coaches here, head coaches there. How do you not go hire one of those assistant coaches at Alabama?? Meyer asked.

A year ago, Colorado State hired Jim McElwain (then Alabama's OC) as their head coach, FWIW.

News flash, dip[Mark May]...all the other major conferences (B1G, Big 12, Pac 12) also have a conference championship game.

Big "XII" no longer does - as they're a 10-team league

I'll give you $5,000 if you can name the winner of this year's Big 12 championship game.

There was no Big 12 Championship game, he'll probably just pay off the winner in vDollars.

If/when the Big XII (12) gets back up to 12 or more they'll resume the CCG they had been playing, along with the current Pac 12 and the B1G CCGs, which contradicts Saban's insinuation that only the mighty SEC has a championship game.
