Here's What Nick Saban Said About UCF's 'Self-Proclaimed' Championship Title

by Larry Leo

May 16, 201819 Comments

So here's the deal: UCF finished last season with a perfect 13-0 record, didn't make the College Football Playoff, but crowned themselves National Champions. Alabama, on the other hand, went 13-1, won the College Football Playoff and walked away with the actual National Championship Trpohpy. Here's what Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban had to say about that, per George Schroeder of USA Today...

quote:
"I have a tremendous amount of respect for their team and what they were able to accomplish," Saban said of UCF on Tuesday

"I guess anybody has the prerogative to claim anything," Saban added. "But self-proclaimed is not the same as actually earning it. And there’s probably a significant number of people who don’t respect people who make self-proclaimed sort of accolades for themselves."

Sums up exactly how I feel about it. UCF can claim whatever they want. But it's everyone else's prerogative to claim that it's pathetic how far they've taken it with all the banners, rings, etc.

WellAlabama invented claiming national titles so pound sand Nicky.

Except those were when there were numerous championship publications. So it's within Bama's right to do so. Same with Auburn or ND, etc. Don't be such a snowflake about it because LSU doesn't have any they can claim.

"But self-proclaimed is not the same as actually earning it." There are more people than just UCF claiming this. Nick's point is invalid.

Nick might wanna check the # of championships Bama claims first. This is as tone deaf as Antifa calling others fascists.
