2012 neutral-site game seems in the offering for 'Bama

The Mobile Press-Register, reported that Saban said the school has spoken to officials from the Chick-fil-A Classic and ESPN about games being played at both the Georgia Dome and the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium, and that discussions have involved several potential opponents.
"We're interested in a lot of scenarios there," Saban said. "We've worked with ESPN. We've worked with the Chick-fil-A people. They presented us with five teams that we could play there or five teams that we could play in Jerry Jones' stadium in Dallas. So we're viewing all the options."
"There's a lot of good teams and all the teams that we have a chance to play are good teams. We'll see what works out. It's a lot of scheduling issues on the other end, too. They have to agree to play you."
Saban did not reveal specific teams, although it's quite certain that the Hurricanes are being considered. The Press-Register also surmises that Texas Tech would be another team that could be under consideration.
