Assume you're asking me? Yes, Bama, Georgia, Texas, Tennessee, Ohio State.....all similar. Alabama is not some tank that is rolling through college football like they were under Saban.

There may be a few others that could be in there too, just don't know enough yet.

Well Bama only plays one more of those teams. Milroe is a big friggin problem for anyone. It doesn’t matter that his intermediate passing game sucks. He can break a run and he has good deep ball accuracy with at least one receiver that can catch anything in his vicinity. TN might top em in a shootout though. UGA took forever to get a good pass game going.

In retrospect, I'd probably give the nod to Chevy. His run on SNL was slightly before my time but I’ve probably seen most if not all of the early seasons.

Jerk or not, he is my favorite of the original crew and his films still to this hold up as comedic genius.

I remember watching the first ever episode at Wood Manor. Flipping around (turning the dial) on a Saturday night, happened to run across it and wondered what the heck it was. Became appointment TV for the rest of college and the next 20 or so years. Between getting old(er) and just not as funny, I stopped watching.
In fairness, while the originals set the standard, there've been a ton of incredibly funny folks roll through there over the years.

They were all great, obviously, but the specific question was about the host of Weekend Update. I know Jane Curtain did it, and Akroyd for a bit, but I still would say Norm and Chevy have to be 1 & 2. Nealon's demeanor and sense of humor puts him up there too.

Chase basically invented Weekend Update, and his deadpan delivery kind of set the tone for the entire show. But his writing was always much better than his performing. In fact, he was originally hired as a writer and just sort of weasled his way onto the cast.

His "run" on SNL was 1 season, plus a couple of episodes in the second season.

I don't care about his off air personality, but somewhere along the way he just stopped being funny. Maybe when he stopped doing coke? He had some funny bits on Community, but the last time I found him really funny was in Three Amigos.

ETA: Give me Norm as top Weekend Update Anchor.

It’s a tougher gig when everyone gets to throw money. Should have stayed his butt with the Flames

I never understood the logic about Freeze somehow being able to do better in the NIL era. His whole schtick was the willingness and lack of scruples needed to run an anything goes program. Now that everything happens above board nothing is left to differentiate him.

It's crazy that the 3 losses were put on the players. Has to be some tremendous love for their coach in the locker room.

That seems to be the case. He will need to find another angle since Dabo has already challenged him on running a "faith based" program and Lane has the FCA money rolling into the plantation.
