Political debates are so ridiculous that they often make people wonder, “Is this real?”

But ESPN’s “First Take” hosted a debate over whether or not Alabama’s head football coach Nick Saban is the best-ever college football coach. No serious human being would ever think was a serious debate.

It was clearly a fake debate, but the real question is, “Who would watch this?”

Note: Nick Saban is the greatest football coach of all time. Period.
