Alabama coach Nick Saban usually does not weigh in on issues around college football unless he feels particularly strongly about them. However, he ha opened up about how he feels about the upcoming College Football Playoff expansion.

In an upcoming interview with Bob Costas for HBO’s “Back on the Record” set to air Friday, Saban said he supports the expansion of the playoff, because it is the only way to ensure that top players are interested in playing in postseason games.
