Tua obviously was not 100% going into the game. Did Saban put the athletes' career in jeopardy?
No
Why do you say that so definitively?I certainly don't think Saban intentionally did so, and I like to think Tua had full medical clearance to play.But coaches do say quite often that they won't play anybody who isn't "healthy."
Because Tua having a gimpy ankle had no role in two guys landing on him awkwardly, leading to a freak hip injury. You've made quite clear here previously you're no Nick Saban fan - which is totally fine - but I suspect you may be letting that shade your feelings here.
The interesting thing here is that people who are advocating that Alabama be one of the final four, not necessarily because of what they accomplish on the field, but because they pass the "eye test" now really can't support that without Tua.So here is where I stand at this point with the CFPLSU - lock no matter how they perform in the SEC ChampionshipOhio State - assuming they win out (which won't be easy with PSU and UM coming up), lock no matter how they play in B10 champ.Clemson - needs to win out.Georgia - only if they win out and win SEC ChampionshipPac Ten Champion if Utah and Oregon win out.
Tuna expected to make full recovery

Would like to see what would happen if Oregon loses tonight and then wins out, Wisconsin or Minnesota beats O$U in the B1G title game, and Georgia wins out. Would be hilarious to put 3 SEC teams in the CFP, but don’t see how they could do it.
They could take a one loss Big 12 champion.
Btw Justin Herbert returning for his senior season wasn’t a smart decision.
Even Northwestern's future quarterbacks suck.https://www.yahoo.com/news/star-high-school-quarterback-arrested-195611174.html
True, kind of forgot about the Big 12. If Oklahoma won out I think they’d get in. I also think O$U would get in over 3 SEC teams, but I’d just be intrigued to see what they’d do. If OU loses again and all that plays out my guess would be Bama left out and O$U makes it.
The problem is that if Bama beats Auburn, that will be their best win of the year. And even that’s not that great if you look at the rest of their schedule. I would think if either Baylor or Oklahoma win out, and they play one another in the B12 championship game, they should be in before Bama. So here is where I stand1. LSU is a lock as long as they win one of the next two. 2. Ditto Ohio State3. Clemson has to win out4. UGa is in if they beat Tech and win the SEC Championship5. One loss B12 Champion is next if one of the above doesn’t occur. 6. Minnesota if they win out7. Alabama if they beat Auburn8. Utah if they win out.
8 team playoff. P5 champions + 3 at large (determined by committee). Boom, done.
