Nick Saban figures there's one certainty about the new college football playoff scenario.

There will be "a two-hour ESPN show on who got left out," he said.

That aside, Saban expressed his satisfaction with the playoff system in a brief media session Tuesday night prior to his speech at the Boys & Girls Club Leaders & Legends Dinner at the Von Braun Center.

"In 1997, I said we should have a plus-one or a four-team playoff because most of the years there are issues, it's when there are three (qualified) teams," he said. "People can't agree on who should be 1 and 2 and should play, and who gets left out. It happened when I was at LSU in 2003 and Southern Cal got left out." ...

CNS has the mentality of you can't contol what you don't have control of, so you just take the situation at hand and make the most out of it and that is, NC #15.  RTR!!!

I think Nick is happy with the system for exactly the reasons stated -- sometimes there are three deserving teams.  (The small schools would claim 4, but I'm not counting those guys.)

Well I see CNS has gotten everybody lifted up in spirit this morning. This should be a great year knowing after this year all the problems go away. I do look forward to the new playoff system. RTR!
