Nick Saban was universally recognized as the best head coach in college football history when he retired. It is only natural for the aftermath to be ugly after Saban vacated his chair in Alabama.ESPN analyst Paul Finebaum outlined how Saban's absence from the SEC impaired the whole program this season -- to a point where they couldn't even stand strong in the College Football Playoff.

For the longest time, Army and Navy used to play their annual football rivalry game on their own Saturday after most other teams finished the regular season, th

Their playoff run was further complicated by the absence of star quarterback Carson Beck, who was injured in the first half of the SEC Championship Game. Beck had entered the season as a projected top pick in the upcoming NFL draft. Following the announcement of his season-ending injury, he declared his intention to enter the draft.

The college football season is nearing its conclusion. The No. 7 seed Notre Dame Fighting Irish (14-1) will face the No. 8 Ohio State Buckeyes (13-2). Both teams share several similarities. They have both bounced back from unexpected regular season losses to gain momentum and reach this point.

Paul Finebaum, often referred to as the "Voice of the SEC ," is known for his bold opinions and hot takes. He has built a reputation for putting coaches on the hot seat, advocating for changes in college football and promoting the SEC as the premier conference in college football.

Paul Finebaum on a potential All-Big Ten national title game: "This would really completely change the paradigm of college football… if it's two Big Ten teams and the Big Ten is ruling the world. I'm not sure what we're gonna do down here in SEC country but hang our heads."… pic.twitter.com/zd4QwpPGs3

ESPN's Paul Finebaum had a similar take during "First Take" on Wednesday. The college football pundit claimed the Fighting Irish were arrogant for not joining a conference.

Paul Finebaum doesn't believe the traditional Army-Navy game needs to have its own Saturday in the middle of December.

Notre Dame's improbable journey to the national championship has captivated college football, earning praise as the "story of the year" from Paul Finebaum.

Ohio State will face Notre Dame on Jan. 20 at 7:30 p.m. ET. Ahead of the College Football Playoffs finale, SEC analyst Paul Finebaum joined "The Matt Barrie Show" where he discussed the current college football schedule.

As the CFP national championship will kick off on Monday between Notre Dame and Ohio State, the get-in price for tickets is insane.
