Nick Saban on 'College GameDay' downplays early CFP rankings
Saban said the committee’s order means little with three weeks left, arguing teams can still change the playoff field with late-season wins.
- On Saturday's College GameDay broadcast from Boise, former Alabama coach Nick Saban criticized the College Football Playoff rankings, calling them "bulls--t" with three weeks remaining in the regular season.
- Saban argued the season is entering its "fourth quarter," contending that rankings are premature since many scenarios remain unresolved and teams still control their own playoff destinies.
- Using the Big Ten as an example, Saban noted USC being 20th "doesn't mean anything" if the Trojans beat Indiana and UCLA; the Hoosiers dropped five spots during a bye without playing.
- CFP committee chair Hunter Yurachek responded to criticism, telling ESPN that Indiana was a "victim of having a bye week at the wrong time" as other teams earned quality wins.
- The committee releases its third rankings on Tuesday, Nov. 17, as teams compete in critical matchups that will reshape the playoff picture before the final week.
