Why is Georgia favored? I'm not going to be the one to bet against Alabama.

I'm recording and I'll watch after the Bucks game so I can skip the fluff

I really can't believe that was called a fumble.

I can't believe they claimed the Bama player had possession before going out of bounds. He touched the ball but surely didn't have possession of it.

That part of the call I agreed with. Unreal how close it was but that part I thought they got right.

Surprised they didn't go for the throat there.

Kirby Smart gets the Julius Peppers Award for yelling for his DB to take a knee when Bama still had 3 TOs.

Big article in The Ringer about Georgia, Bama, and the big business of recruiting in college football. Given what we know about Wisconsin's tiny staff of recruiters, it was all very depressing.

That infrastructure includes a massive staff that can evaluate and recruit any player. That means assets such as player evaluation specialists, digital media staffers who impress recruits on social media, and resources that help players maximize marketing opportunities, which is important now that players are able to sign endorsement deals in the NIL era. Saban’s staff has employed famously successful college “general managers” like Ed Marynowitz, who helped put together Alabama’s vaunted recruiting classes while other schools were grappling with the concept of such a role.

The only school that has kept pace with Alabama, Petagna said, in resources, vision, recruiting, and staff investment is Georgia. In a study, it was the only school to spend more money on recruiting. According to NCAA financial documents, in 2019 it became the first team to surpass $3 million in recruiting spending. This helps. College football, Petagna says, is filled with minutiae, and if you don’t have a big enough staff, you’ll get buried under it. A director of player personnel at a lower-tier SEC school might have to deal with marketing or producing graphics to send to recruits or organizing hotel logistics for visiting recruits and their families. In Tuscaloosa, there are many more specialized staffers to accomplish the same tasks. Alabama usually employs nearly a dozen “analysts” who don’t count against the NCAA’s limit on staff sizes. Many of them are accomplished coaches who want to spend some time around Saban’s program. Steve Sarkisian, who currently coaches the University of Texas, spent one season as a Crimson Tide offensive analyst in 2016.

College football will collapse under its own bloat.

Is kind of wild, but less wild when you think about it. He's from California so I doubt he gives two **** about the rivalry tbh, and he has a chance to have Bryce Young throwing him the ball at what has oddly become an NFL wideout factory vs. a former walk-on. Young threw for almost twice as many yards as Bennett :lol:
