And they clearly dealt with it better.
The timing of the draft grades has nothing to do with why Bama lost (unless Cyrus Jones got his grade sometime in September).
That doesn't mean that it made sense for the NFL to move it up.
But that's not what Saban said or implied (regardless of what he says afterwards). When he says the grades went out and we had guys distracted he's indirectly (if it can even be labeled that) saying it affected our play. It's becoming a theme. If he doesn't like how it's perceived in the media and by the public, then man up or say nothing at all.
I'm sure it was a distraction. It would be a distraction during Spring camp. But, it's not the reason Bama lost.
But Saban isn't wrong about the issue itself. Saban could say "sex is awesome" at Media Days and 70% of opposing fans would spend the next week discussing how he's wrong.
Then why talk about it in the context of losing a game? I think we all agree it's not why they lost but our opinions don't diminish the implication or perception Saban has made.
