Notes you need to know coming out of Week 9

On this day that Alabama head coach Nick Saban turns 65, the traditional retirement age, the winner of five national championships (including four of the last seven) might be coaching his best team. Saban looks and acts 10 years younger. So do a lot of people his age these days. To view Saban's achievements through a historical lens, take a look at where these great coaches were at age 65:

• Bear Bryant had one of his best teams (1978), winning his fifth national title, but he was ailing and would be dead four years later.
• Woody Hayes threw the punch that got him fired.
