Remember when Alabama Football coach Nick Saban stated he was in favor of a 10-game conference schedule? Apparently, few people share that recollection, including no one in the national media. Saban’s opinion was not recent and it was included in a statement of support of a 9-game schedule. He added even a 10-game schedule would be fine with him. His comment was consistent with another unpopular Nick Saban opinion; that Power Five teams should only play Power Five teams.
More recently it has been reported that Saban is opposed to a nine-game, SEC schedule. Actually, his dissatisfaction about expected SEC scheduling changes was solely about every-season opponents Alabama Football would face in a 3-6 format.
