As Iron Bowl week officially began on Monday, Alabama football coach, Nick Saban shared some interesting comments with the media. Saban is always careful to find something positive to say about an upcoming opponent. He certainly did that when describing the Auburn Tigers.
Saban on Auburn: "This is the best team we've played, probably, so far this year."

Except for the “probably” qualifier, Nick rated the Auburn Tigers over the other Tigers who are the nation’s number one team. Maybe Nick was being strategic and trying to send a message to the Selection Committee.
