The Urban Meyer Effect: It’s making Nick Saban and the SEC nervous again.

Could the latest meltdown by Nick Saban at a press conference have something to do with Urban Meyer? And is Urban making the entire SEC nervous again?

When coach Meyer’s Ohio State Buckeyes defeated Nick Saban’s heavily favored Alabama team in the playoff game last season it changed the perception of the Southeastern Conference’s dominance in college football. And because of that, coach Saban is aware that a two loss SEC champion might not get into the playoffs. With one loss already, his team might have to run the table to get an invitation. Could that be why he was so upset, and irate with the reporters?
