    Nick Saban doesn’t think there should be an 8 team playoff

    Nick Saban Says 8-Team CFP Would 'Minimize the Importance' of Other Bowl Games


    Alabama coach Nick Saban is fine with the College Football Playoff as currently constituted.
    Saban told reporters Thursday he believes an expansion of the current playoff system would be bad for the sport.
    "I think the playoff has become and will continue to become ... if it's expanded, to minimize the importance of those games, maybe to the point where those games won't even exist," Saban said. "I'm not sure that is the best thing, overall, for college football."

    In college football the season wins are the play in games for the playoff. If they allow 8 teams then Notre Dame will be in every year based on the cupcake schedule they play. They were exposed this year for haven't played anyone.

    Well its 4 teams now and they were in for the same reason this year and have been how many other times since 4 team playoff?

    So 8 teams will help that situation rather than hurt it.

    More teams = more SEC schools in playoffs

    which would just piss-off the rest of the country
