"Alabama without Nick Saban is Mississippi State with better branding."

It's the Bulldogs, Commodores, and Blue Devils of the world that are behind them as they step up to challenge the usual blueblood suspects. Not withstanding that with exception of a few recent weeks, our football program has stood head and shoulders above IU for half a century at least.

Oh well, 17 them then. This Bulldog just went from Go Hoosiers to RDT!

Alabama vs. Georgia in the Championship is probably what is best for CFB in the long run anyway. We need a string of 4-5 years of boring blueblood vs blueblood matchups to push the powers that be to make the necessary changes to stop the sport from a slow descent into eventual irrelevance where all minor league sports go to die.
