McAfee took his show on the road for last season's CFP Semifinals and championship game.
And he came under fire on social media for a crude comment on live TV.
"I personally would like to say thank you to the college football community for allowing me to penetrate you this season and be inside of you all year," McAfee said.
Fans expressed their shock over his comment on social media.
One said: "Why are you subjecting people's children to this vulgarity on national TV?"
