Nick Saban isn’t coaching anymore, but he’s still diagnosing what’s broken in college football pretty loudly.

Arguably the biggest controversy right now in college football is the expanded College Football Playoff field and the resulting guaranteed spot to a Group of 5 team despite them having zero chance to actually win a championship.

During a appearance on the Pat McAfee Show today, Saban strongly criticized James Madison, who made the playoff as the No. 12 seed to face Oregon in the first round.

JMU made it over Notre Dame for the final spot and left the Irish out of the field, something Saban found unacceptable.

“Would we allow the winner of the AAA baseball league — the International League, I don’t even know the name of it — would you let them in the World Series? That’s the equivalent of what we do when JMU gets in the playoff and Notre Dame doesn’t,” Saban said.

“I don’t want to start any sh*t here, but…[the Group of 5] ought to have their own playoff…Just give them the money. Each school gets $4 million for playing the first round. Just give them $4 million and put Notre Dame in. Want to see Notre Dame and Oregon play? Hell yes. Hell yes.”
