Thoughts from recent developments in college sports:Action: Alabama’s Nick Saban addresses UCF’s national championship claim in an interview with USA Today. Reaction: You knew that Emperor Palpatine, uh, Coach Saban would respond sooner or later to those pesky rebels down in Orlando. Actually, Saban was more restrained than some Alabama fans and media types about UCF claiming a national title, complete with championship rings, stadium signage and even coaching bonuses.“I guess anybody has the prerogative to claim anything,” Saban told USA Today.
