PASADENA, Calif. -- As Alabama coach Nick Saban looks ahead to the expansion of the College Football Playoff next year from four to 12 teams, he doesn't expect much to change.
"The big games are going to be the big games," Saban said on Saturday, "and there's always going to be speculation of who the best 12 teams are just like there's speculation now who the best four teams are."
Speaking ahead of Monday's Rose Bowl Game Presented by Prudential against Michigan, Saban compared the selection process to the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, which has 68 teams participating.
