Crimson Tide just escapes

1) Alabama 27, (15) LSU 21 (OT)

BATON ROUGE, La. — And now, football professor Nick Saban of the University of Alabama, on his motivational philosophy of maintaining a No. 1 BCS ranking as pressure mounts in the final weeks of the regular season:

“We’re at about 19,000 feet and the mountain is probably about 26,000 feet. The air is changing, it’s a little bit rare. You’ve got to change how you breathe sometimes. But you still have to focus on the task at hand. Because of that, if you slip up and don’t focus on the task, the consequences can be devastating, even more so than when you’re down at 7,000 feet.”
