Alabama is ranked No. 4 in the latest Associated Press college football poll. Florida, Texas and Southern Cal are ranked ahead of the Crimson Tide.
Has Alabama coach Nick Saban had a chance yet to watch any of these three teams that look like national championship contenders?

"Not really," Saban said today. "Unless we have a common opponent or they happen to play on TV when we're not playing, that would be the only time we could see them.

"Like everybody else in the country, we like watching ESPN. You see a lot of highlights. I did see a little bit of the Ohio State-USC game at the end. Both those teams looked like really good football teams."

Florida (2-0) plays host to Tennessee (1-1) at 2:30 p.m. CDT Saturday in a game that will be televised nationally by CBS.

Texas (2-0) plays host to Texas Tech (2-0) at 7 p.m. CDT Saturday in a game that will be televised nationally by ABC. The Longhorns will try to avenge their only 2008 loss.

USC (2-0), coming off an 18-15 victory at Ohio State, plays at Washington (1-1) at 2:30 p.m. CDT Saturday in a game that will be televised regionally by ABC. The Nebraska-Virginia Tech game is the other game ABC is showing regionally in that time slot.
