08:15 AM ET 09.05 | Alabama's ascension to No. 1 came as little surprise Tuesday, though Nick Saban had made sure to let his players know where the team ranked in his eyes. [Alabama] moved from No. 2 to No. 1 by wide margins in both the Associated Press and USA Today/Coaches polls. Two days earlier, less than 24 hours removed from its dominant performance against the then-No. 8 Wolverines, Alabama's players were called into a team meeting room, where coach Nick Saban essentially told them that they weren't as good as everyone was saying they were. Yet. "He told us that that was just the first game, so don't get all hyped up about that," junior linebacker C.J. Mosley said. "We've got a lot more games to come and we've got a lot more improvement to do."

The key word here is NOT YET, I think he is waiting for some of his replacement players that took over on defense to get more experience.

Atleast he did say that 2 of the great looking teams are from the 12 Pac. Utah and Colorado really do look good. : )

They paraphrased a lot of that, anyway. So, no telling what he actually said.
