Nick Saban is getting upset, and he wants you to know it.

For years, Alabama's coach stumped for a nine-game SEC schedule. That change is likely coming in 2024, but now Saban is whining about the teams Alabama will have to play. Auburn, LSU and Tennessee are Alabama's assigned rivals in this proposed model. Saban thinks that's unfair.

Surely, he can't expect the SEC to reverse course now. It would look like it is caving to Saban's demands. So, what's he up to?

On today's episode, hosts Blake Toppmeyer and John Adams discuss why Saban might have an ulterior motive beyond griping about a tough draw of rivals.
