Nick Saban names the two best teams in college football right now

Our Summary
On a recent Halloween-themed episode of the Pat McAfee Show, Alabama head coach Nick Saban shared insights on the current college football landscape, specifically highlighting Texas A&M's strong performance in the SEC. Saban placed Texas A&M among the top two teams nationally, alongside Ohio State, due to their undefeated record and impressive quarterback and skill player combination. This perspective diverges from the latest AP Top 25 Polls, where A&M trails behind Ohio State and Indiana.
Saban praised Texas A&M quarterback Marcel Reed for his exceptional talent and contributions to the team's success, mentioning the Aggies' notable performance against LSU, which included a punt return for a touchdown. The victory over LSU, which ended with significant consequences for the Tigers' athletic department, further solidified A&M's standing in the national conversation.
During the show, McAfee and his staff, dressed in Halloween costumes, playfully advocated for Indiana to be included in the national discussion, following Saban's omission of the Hoosiers
