Saban coaches number two Alabama, and all other three squads are coached by his former assistants. Kirby Smart coaches number one Georgia, Mel Tucker coaches number three Michigan State and Mario Cristobal coaches number four Oregon.
The top FOUR ranked teams in the CFP rankings are either coached by Nick Saban, or coached by Nick Saban disciples (No. 1 UGA – Kirby Smart; No. 2 Alabama; No. 3 Michigan State-Mel Tucker; No. 4 Oregon – Mario Cristobal). That is something.
