Saban on the BCS

Coach Nick Saban was asked Wednesday for his views on the BCS, and he said he respects it.
But he doesn't believe it is the answer.
He would rather the two teams left battle it out, which was Southeastern Conference commissioner Mike Slive's stance this spring.
"I've always been an advocate of the plus-one system for how you determine a national championship game and who is in it," Saban said. "The integrity of the bowl system is important, so you keep that. But instead of picking two teams, why not pick four? You play the game a week after the (New Year's Day) bowls anyway."

I'm definitely for it
We need something besides the straight up BCS, but I see a few disadvantages to the playoff system too. This seems like a good compromise to me. However, we’ve debated this tons of times on here already. I just thought it was interesting to get Saban’s opinion on it.

Saban
did benefit from the system in 2003 having lost a game but got into the game based on strength of schedule.

2003
There were no undefeateds that year. LSU was going to be in the game either way that year. You could argue Oklahoma benefitted from the system based on SOS that year though.

Word.
Although we lost to everybody that year, there was no comparison between the narrow loss to OU and the humiliating defeat to Saban’s team. I’m still a little surprised the LSU/OU score was that close.
