Nick Saban doesn’t like Florida in the BCS, Muschamp fires back

Good ‘ol Saint Nicholas has not quite found the Christmas spirit yet.

On Sunday, Alabama head coach Nick Saban had the following to say about Florida and the BCS:

“It’s not really a great scenario. You play your way into the (SEC) championship game, which means you’re the best team in your division… It doesn’t seem quite right, but it is what it is. I don’t really know what me commenting about it is going to do to change it. But I don’t feel good about it.”

No. 2 Alabama will square off against No. 3 Georgia on Saturday in the SEC Championship game, with the winner taking a trip to the BCS National Championship game in Miami, while the loser will most likely miss the BCS-boat entirely.

Muschamp fired back at Saban when informed of his statements, stating:

“Well, I can switch and go to Atlanta if he doesn’t want to go to Atlanta and play the Dawgs. Be careful what you ask for, Nick.”

Florida, who arguably has the best resume in the nation (the Gators have beaten four of the top 13 teams), beat the one team that beat Alabama, and lost to Georgia.

Saban and the Crimson Tide have a chance to make the BCS scenario a moot point this weekend with a win over the Dawgs, but if Nick’s statements suggest anything, Bama could be in for a long, rough ride on Saturday.

What do you think about Saban's comments?

Don’t see the big deal with any of the comments by either coach.

Saban needs to shut up. His team ended up in the NC game last year without playing in the SEC Champ game. What’s the freakin’ difference?

The one coach in this world who should NOT make that comment is Savannah! I completely understand any other coach voicing that opinion, BUT Damn!–The only way Alabama got in the game last year was by being ranked so high while not playing in the SECCG.

always knew saban was a jerk — this just proves it. What is his point? Was cheering for ‘roll tide’, but may just have to cheer for the dawgs after that classless move on saban’s part.

  That is exactly what he meant. He thinks the loser should get the Sugar Bowl. Like in 08 when UF beat Bama. UF went on to the NC game and Bama got beat in the Sugar. Kinda sounds like ole Nicky Boy isn’t very confident about beating the Dawgs!

If I were saban, I would be worried about Georgia right now, Looking past them MIGHT have Alabama on the outside looking IN on the BCS thing, The system is better this year and even more so next year, Nick is just being Nick, Has to say something about someone, Wish he would worry about the Great team he has and just do his job.

It seems to me that Nick is worried that his team may not be able to take on the Bulldogs and he is worried about being left out.
