Alabama is not in the College Football Playoff National Championship, but the Crimson Tide are still the topic of conversation with Nick Saban serving as a guest host on ESPN’s College Gameday ahead of the game.
Many college football fans reacted to seeing Saban at the anchor desk. Here are some of those reactions:

I’ve had the TV on for 20 minutes and they’ve mentioned Alabama 4 times already and now they have Nick Saban on the pregame show.
The Standard.

College Gameday is doing a great job of making everyone shut up and listen to Nick Saban
I mean this as a compliment

I absolutely LOVE having Nick Saban on College Gameday, and not just because he’s not on the sidelines 😉 It’s amazing to hear the goat’s stories and analysis.#GoFrogs

Love that Nick Saban is becoming a staple of the CFP pregame show. It means he isn't in the game. pic.twitter.com/n7nfExO6FB

I'm ready for some game theory about why Nick Saban pretends to be having fun on TV at a national title game he's not in.
The obvious answer is crootin' exposure but idk. Feels like those are not big returns
