We begin with sterling appreciation for Georgia’s coaching clinic disposal of the current Big Ten champions on New Year’s Eve, a heady conquering of a longtime power in college football but with the reminder that Michigan ain’t Alabama.
While it was good to enjoy the fruits of a well-deserved victory, the fact remains that Alabama has more overall balance, speed and talent, a Heisman trophy winning quarterback and is coached by a man who seems to enjoy as much extraordinary luck as he does genius.
