| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Andy Staples show, and it is almost time for the national championship game. |
| 0:15.4 | And I realized that the casual college football fan may not be as interested in a rematch of two SEC |
| 0:22.7 | teams in the national title game as, say, somebody who watches the SEC all year. |
