College football is in the midst of a chaotic transition and many schools are taking advantage of that chaos at the expense of more traditional powers like Alabama. This week, Alabama athletic director Greg Byrne pleaded with fans to help the Crimson Tide fight back against schools attempting to lure away players with big paychecks, but should that responsibility fall to fans? We dig into the complicated issues surrounding NIL, transfers, and the chaos surrounding college football as a new order is established. Presented by Broadway Joe's Fantasy Sports.

Some of the most iconic calls in sports history belong to Verne Lundquist. The longtime voice of the SEC on CBS, Verne has seen just about every major rivalry in college football. But he says no fanbases hate each other like Alabama and Auburn (and few fanbases like to accuse him of rooting against their team as they do). And as beloved as he is for his football announcing, Verne's calls for The Masters, like the iconic Tiger Woods call, also stand the test of time. And, of course, there's his scene stealing cameo in Happy Gilmore. This week on The Golden Age with Eli Gold, we're joined by Lundquist, Eli's good friend and fellow broadcasting legend. Verne shares some of his favorite memories from his legendary career and talks about his special relationship with Nick Saban.

The field remains very crowded in the race to the SEC Championship and College Football Playoff. Does Alabama control its own destiny at this point? Not quite.

But that begs the question: does making the SEC championship help or hurt the Tide's chances to make the College Football Playoff? Ben Flanagan and Matt Scalici discuss where the Crimson Tide stands with two weeks left in the regular season and what they like (and hate) about the way college football operates in this new era.

Eli Gold's favorite calls and his most memorable calls can be two very different things.
