Nick Saban and Dabo Swinney were up bright and early on Sunday morning to chat with the media.
Here’s the Twitter recap of what the coaches had to say at the final presser in advance of Monday’s national title game:
Saban calls Clemson "arguably the best team in college football." Now, how can we settle that argument?

Dabo jokingly said he doesn't think Nick would cancel the game if Shaq Lawson can't play
Nick's facial expression was like "You damn right"

Saban: We've had four or five true freshmen each year make an impact and play. The expectations for most freshmen are unrealistic.

Dabo Swinney is recruiting the hell out of a room of sarcastic, cynical journalists. Impeccable sincerity and charm.

Nick Saban said losing Kirby Smart is like having your son move away. Said he wants Kirby to do really, really well.
