No matter how many teams play across the country this season, Alabama coach Nick Saban says his players are locked up to return to the College Football Playoffs after disappointing destroyed Crimson Tide’s 2019 campaign. Potential risk management is one of the biggest importance, says Saban, whose team is one of the national title frontrunners this fall.
“In my opinion there will be three conferences playing. I think the players are looking forward to the playoffs,” Saban said on Tuesday. “I think the players who play should have the chance to have a playoff and a championship for the teams that play. That’s my opinion. I’m sure there are a lot of people are those who agree or disagree.
“If we are lucky to manage this, with player safety the number 1 concern for all of us and we can go through a season and find out who the best teams are, I think there would be a lot of interest in seeing that these teams play and I know the players would definitely come out to play. “
Alabama is one of several SEC teams with a chance to take advantage of the Big Ten and Pac-12’s decision to put their season in the national title picture. And per oddsmakers are expected to do just that.
