Saban Doesn’t Care About Initial CFP Ranking That Has Crimson Tide No. 2

By Solomon Crenshaw Jr.

The College Football Playoff rankings were due out a day later, and Nick Saban said in his Monday press conference that he couldn’t care less.

“What significance does the poll have right now? All we’re talking about right here is the challenge of our season,” said the Crimson Tide coach, whose team is No. 2 behind SEC East leader Georgia in the initial CFP ranking. “Where are we going to be in the poll if we don’t play well in the next four games? You won’t see me wasting any time watching TV, watching who’s one and who’s two. It really doesn’t matter.”

What does matter to Saban is a 7 p.m. date with CFP No. 19 LSU Saturday on CBS.“Probably the worst thing that happened for all of us in the SEC is when they lost to Troy,” he said of the Bengal Tigers. “They’ve really made a turnaround as a team, which I think speaks volumes of the coaching staff and the job that Ed Orgeron has done there to get the players to re-center, refocus, work on improving. They’ve been very productive since that time and playing very, very well as a team.”
