"Anyone who doesn't win their conference has no business playing in the national championship game." - Nick Saban, Alabama Head Coach (12/8/03)

"I guess I have to say it. I'm not going to be the Alabama coach." - Nick Saban (12/21/07)

Luckily for Nick Saban, he's already proven to be a very untrustworthy source of information.

Who would he have been saying that about? Ohio St?

Oklahoma, who had just lost to K State in an upset. OU was basically in the same position LSU finds themselves in this year, where if they lost, they were a shoo-in regardless for the NCG.

Saban was coaching LSU that year and LSU played OU for all the marbles, winning 21-14. USC beat whoever they played in the Rose Bowl that year (probably Michigan or somebody) and the NC was split.

nice! I will us this
 
It's like when Pujols said that a player who plays on a team that doesn't make the playoffs shouldn't win the MVP and then he won it a few years later on a non-playoff team.
 
No, Saban's misstatements from nearly a decade ago are not relevant to the national title picture today.
 
It's not like Saban has a history of bullshit spewing forth from his pie hole.
 
On ESPN today they said they could find no reliable sources actually attributing the first quote to Saban FWIW
