    Also very important: The SEC used to have the only efficient bag network in CFB.

    A lot of top players were probably fine taking (just a theoretical projection) 50-75K a year to ride the bench for two to three years at Bama, GA, LSU...Get coached up, get lots of publicity, increase your eventual draft stock.

    Not no more. They can eclipse those figures filling in a position of need at Minnesota or Arizona for all I know, as a sophomore transfer.

    When the bigger money can be made NOW, the unique features that created talent monopolies for SEC are lessened dramatically.

    Sports media, especially SEC owned ESPN, does not like that picture.

    Alabama had full on position deficiencies. OLine, WR, QB, RB. Not sure how many NFL types these groups have but I’ll say not many.
    Bama's lack of elite players at so many positions is stunning. I go back and forth on if WE wanted them or Michigan. Looks like they have one elite pass rusher, a corner, and a supposed elite RT who didn't look great against Michigan and that's it.

    I wanted UM from go. Limp dick offense can’t keep up with ours even if they put up 250 on the ground. They’ll run out of time to catch up.

    This way we also get to beat the cheaters and temporarily make everything right in the world of college football.

    I don’t put much stock into anything Wasserman says. He mentioned the Rose Bowl game being in Alabamas favor because it’s indoors on a fast track on multiple podcasts in the weeks leading up to the game.

    The sunsets and the shadows of the Arroyo Seco are
    spectacular from inside that dome.
