Herbie’s Feeling Were Hurt

Coaches will always say or do whatever fits their agenda at that point in time. Proof in point is when Saban said a team that does not win their conference championship, doesn't belong in the college football playoffs. But as soon as Saban lost to Auburn, he used his platform and lobbied hard, non-stop, for Alabama to be in.

With that said, I do believe if the goal is to select the 4 best teams in college football every year, Alabama deserves to be in. They are the best team in college football. That doesn't change the fact Saban is a big hypocrite. And I'm sure he doesn't get a crap about that now that his team is in... nor should he.

Well said. I am a bit biased, having lived in Ohio for the past 26 years. Coaches will be lobbyist for their team come bowl time and fans will be fans, but OSU fans seem to be much more grating than most. But for two or three teams the Big 10 is really a weak conference. OSU fans ridicule Alabama playing Mercer, but I suspect that Mercer could beat several Big 10 schools.

	Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege. All little common sense goes a long way.
