BeauxPete, I have not seen a link to validate that quote. But I'm looking.


Why would he have ever said that? It wasn't like there were weeks of debate about OU getting in....there were only a couple of hours between OU losing to KState and the announcement that OU and LSU were playing in the BCSCG, and it was very clear at that time that LSU would be ranked ahead of OU by the voters anyway.

And he certainly wouldn't have said it after the matchup was announced, why give OU bulletin board material for no reason?

There's precisely a 0% chance that Saban ever said that publicly. His very obvious proclivity is to say the most politic thing possible. You could even see it on Saturday. It killed him, you could tell, but he still said something nice about LSU and didn't say anything controversial. Compare that with the ultimate douchebag team - Carroll and Leinart. The former says "I think we just won a national championship" DAYS before LSU and OK play. The latter says "the better team didn't win" - even as you can see the national champion Texas Longhorns dancing around in the background.
