Summary
Nick Saban might be the early highlight of Talkin' Season. Chris Vannini, David Ubben and Ari Wasserman react to Saban's first SEC Media Days as an analyst, including his opinions on Texas and Alabama. Plus, are NIL fines enough for Georgia's reckless drivers? It's time to ride the Conference Realignment Rumor Rollercoaster. Later, the guys share their grivances about EA Sports College Football 25 now that we've had more than a day and change to play. Oh, and we let CFB25 predict the College Football Playoff. It got wild.
