Nick Saban Reveals Motivational Tactic Behind SEC Championship Prediction

Nick Saban selected Georgia and Texas for the SEC title game to motivate Alabama players.
Saban referred to this tactic as 'reverse rat poison' to prevent overconfidence in his former team.
He expressed his disdain for preseason predictions, preferring outcomes to be decided on the field.
Saban's strategy aimed to give Alabama players a psychological edge by making them feel underestimated.
Alabama begins its first season without Saban against Western Kentucky on August 31.
