I know you guys probably aren't going to agree with Nick Saban very much, but this was the strongest argument of the day in Destin against Steve Spurrier's idea ...

"I just think it's important for the integrity of the game for the fans who look forward to all these rivalry games that we have in the SEC. I mean, it's big when we play Georgia. It's big when we play Florida. It's big when we play other teams in the East. So you're going to minimize the importance of those games by saying they don't count?

"There's no perfect way to schedule. You can look at the NFL and say, 'Well, this team got in the playoffs, but they didn't play all these good teams.' Well, I know there were teams in the East last year that didn't play Arkansas, LSU or us and we were 1-2-3 at one point in time. But how many times does that happen? That might happen every now and then. I just think that there's no perfect way to do it. But I do think you're going to sort of minimize the importance of cross-divisional games if you say they don't count toward the championship. Then we're really not an SEC. We're really just an East and a West, so why would we even play the games?"
