Swinney's response to Saban's Clemson compliment is hilarious

Alabama's Nick Saban made news last week by telling ESPN he felt Clemson should be the top-ranked team in the country entering the season thanks to quarterback Deshaun Watson.

That's high praise indeed coming from the defending national champion, and Tigers head coach Dabo Swinney offered a hilarious response Monday during his own visit to the Bristol studios.

"I appreciate Coach Saban talking about us as No. 1 (going into 2016)," Swinney said. "But that is like Bill Gates talking about someone else's wealth."

Saban and Swinney are no strangers, competing in an epic national championship game last season with the Crimson Tide legend coming out on top.

While Saban and Alabama may have won the battle on the field, Swinney seems like a lock to take home the crown for the more entertaining of the two coaches.
