Legendary coach Nick Saban said on "College GameDay" that "nobody's gonna remember" Ohio State lost to Michigan if the Buckeyes win a national title.

To former Alabama head coach Nick Saban, the loss to Michigan might have been the best thing for the Buckeyes, who are the current favorite to win the College Football Playoff nat

Former Alabama football head coach Nick Saban believes that the Tide weren't motivated to play against Michigan.

While there is still one more step to that process, Saban's remarks appear to already ring true for Ohio State head coach Ryan Day. Ohio State Buckeyes quarterback Will Howard celebrates after winning the College Football Playoff semifinal against the Texas Longhorns in the Cotton Bowl on Friday in Arlington, Texas.

The college football legend has consistently touted the job of Ohio State coach Ryan Day, as well as the play of Buckeyes quarterback Will Howard, freshman sensation wide receiver Jeremiah Smith, and his former safety Caleb Downs, who spent his freshman season at Alabama before transferring to Columbus.
