Correction. The playoffs were created because of Bama fatigue. Bama won 3 of the prior 4 (2009, 11, and 12) to get the ball rolling (pun intended) for 2013 to be the last year of the BCS before implementing the playoff. And funny enough, that one year Bama didn't win it (2010) the other team from the state did (Auburn) to give the state of Alabama 4 natties in a row. For a while I was beginning to wonder if the rest of the country took their football seriously.
More and more it’s looking like this is Saban’s last season.
