There's a video on ESPN CFB right now where Saban is complaining about media predictions for the season. Is it just me, or is he starting to appear a little frazzled?

He is smart enough to know expectations for an undefeated season are completely ridiculous. Media has become a huge problem whether it's news (often fake) or sports (created by fake experts). I am not a fan of Saban but he does get my respect for being fiery with the talking heads who blab incessantly about crap.
But without millions of people who pine for all of the information and speculation they can get about a sport, then he doesn't have a paycheck worth squat.
I agree with this. If you watch many Saban vids, he simply does not like the idea of people on the outside putting certain expectations on kids. The say Saban views it, is his team is not entitled to winning any games this year. He understands his team has to buy into the process of doing the work to earn victories, and not get caught up in thinking they will win a certain number of games just because they have Alabama on their jerseys.
