Alabama head coach Nick Saban compared the positive media coverage of his team after Alabama's tight 27-19win over Texas A&M on Saturday to rat poison.

"I'm trying to get our players to listen to me instead of you guys," Saban said in his postgame press conference, per Joel Anderson of ESPN.com. "All that stuff you write about how good we are? All that stuff they hear on ESPN? It's like poison. Like rat poison."
