A lot happening in college football, SEC media days today. And they're doing more nonsense with the playoff. And I think it hurts all of us, the fans. We go to Spencer, see what he's got to say. Spencer, what's going on, buddy? Oh, Mike Rico, how are you doing? Good, pal. What do you make of this nonsense? Can you help me, please?

It's a complete dumpster fire is what it is. Because you have to now, you know, each Big Ten and

0:33.0
