Welcome to the Andy Staples show presented by Sling.

We are here live at the Mandalay Bay Sportsbook in lovely Las Vegas, Nevada.

On Christmas Day.

On college football Christmas Day.

We find out who the four teams for the college football player are going to be.

It is going to be maybe dramatic.

So what would be the most dramatic thing?

We said it last night.

As we say this,

Reese Davis is pointing at that Alabama A.

There's Nick Saban next to him.

I'll give ESPN credit, Andy.

I don't know if it's a realistic.

Bringing some drama out of this.

They are like taking every ounce of Alabama drama and like squeezing it out of that oily rag.

Scooping it out of here.

They have the Instagram posts with Nick Sabin.

And every picture i've noticed too

that nick sabin is wearing uh the crimson blazer well i appreciate that i mean because like that's the

powerful blazer that a human being could be wearing when they're trying to make a point he also had the

the the case of national championship rings behind him when he was politicking yeah i mean that that's

yes everything they did was to heighten the drama. Everything Nick Saban did, it's his job to try to put his team in a position to win the national title. I'm sure that piece of his job didn't particularly enjoy. Yeah. I don't know that it's going to matter. Yeah. I think we're talking more about it. I one thing I will say, though, Andy. Where are TCU and Ohio State fitting three or four? The committee was watching the games. Yes. Together. Yes. Yes. And during those games that were being watched together live, Nick Saban was on the television speaking directly to the people. So like the one thing I wonder is, like, does politicking really ever matter? Probably not, but we both have done the committee mock. Right. They argue with each other. And if he gets into one person's brain. And especially that person is very persuasive. Then, like, you know, you never know. Maybe I could say it's a 2% chance. It's like a jury at this point, right?
