Retired former Alabama head coach and new College Gameday analyst Nick Saban said Saturday morning that he took heat when Florida State missed out on the College Football Playoffs last season despite being undefeated.

"I just want Kirk [Herbstreit] to know, I got a thousand phone calls when we got the Playoff. He didn't have anything to do with them not getting in the Playoff, and I didn't either, but we both got hammered," he said. "I'm glad we got in, and they probably should have gotten in too, but at least we won't have that situation this year.
