Nick Saban on Sunday said his cell phone number was leaked, leading to hundreds of calls from anonymous callers upset over Alabama’s College Football Playoff berth.

Rivals.com, which obtained a video of the comments, reports the Alabama coach told his players of the leak during the team’s awards banquet.

“I’ve had probably over 250 anonymous callers today, calling me every name in the book, talking about how we shouldn’t be in the playoff,” Saban said, per the report. “So we still have naysayers out there. We still have players who don’t believe in us.”

On Sunday, the CFP committee named the Tide the No. 4 seed after Alabama defeated then-No. 1 Georgia 27-24 for the SEC championship Saturday night. The college football-watching world debated much of Sunday after undefeated ACC champ Florida State was left out of the playoff.

“Most of these people are from Florida,” Saban said, per the report. “I don’t know how in the hell they got my number, but it is out there.”

Alabama’s senior U.S. Senator weighed in on the report.

“Doxxing and haters that you don’t represent? Sounds familiar,” Sen. Tommy Tuberville tweeted.

No. 4 Alabama (12-1) faces No. 1 Michigan (13-0) in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1. The Wolverines didn’t appear to be thrilled with being matched up with the Tide. Still, Michigan’s Blake Corum re-iterated the Wolverines are the top dogs, though.
