Staff picks: How many more national championships will Nick Saban win at Alabama?

If there's one headline that could have overshadowed Nick Saban's extension at Alabama, it was College Football Playoff expansion news. My stars, June 7 feels like months ago. But in a way, these are two compelling storylines that can be intertwined. College football is at a crossroads. A historically regional sport is now national, and there's a lot of good and bad in that. At the same time, the best coach to ever do it is charging full steam ahead into it. Saban in this new world is going to be fascinating. He has shown a remarkable ability to adapt before.
