| 1:01.3 | And now it's time to give out the awards for the best of this college football season. |
| 1:05.2 | And Ari, this has been a tremendous college football season. And I think the actual award is called Top Ass. |
| 1:08.0 | So if you get it. |
| 1:08.9 | Oh. |
| 1:09.1 | Yeah. |
| 1:10.5 | That's what it's called. |
| 1:11.8 | There you go. Yeah. So I'm excited to go down memory lane. It's a lot of moments this year, a lot of fun, a lot of, so we're going to do some funny categories, mostly funny categories, but a few serious ones too.

| 1:09.1 | Okay. |
| 1:10.0 | Coach of the year. |

Maybe not. I don't know. But it was a good year for coaching all around. And of course, Kirby Smart is a nominated too because he won back-to-back national championships. Yes.
