A quick cross check says this will be the highest (or lowest, depending on how you look at it) rated academic matchup in a national championship game since the inception of the CFP and I think all the way back to the 2005 Texas/USC matchup. Per USNWR 2024 ratings anyways.
I think if you want to keep sliding down the slippery slope, if you separate the academics, is there a need for the Freshman-Senior designation anymore? What’s to say a player has to leave after 4 years only to potentially make less money on an NFL rookie contract?
The quad 3 number is obviously an outlier I’m guessing based on a very small sample size but would like to see a better Q1 number. Seems like if we’re going to be a top team, gotta do better against the top teams.
Yes, perhaps you are right (and perhaps this belongs in the College/Pro rather than here) As many have stated, Athens is not Atlanta. Trust me I’m an every week is Hate Week kinda guy. I guess I have to weigh my Braves fandom vs my dwag disgust.

- 28-3 never happens (Falcons win)
- Braves hold the 3-1 NLCS last year and this year and win the World Series at least one of those...

I wanted to see him on the field more at the end when they started trying to run over us. I don’t think he or Stone are on the ATL chart but have seen them make plays more than the ones that are.
How about the red IN the student and Swarm sections? I understand bringing friends/family but dangit if I'd let them in there wearing red. Tell them to wear black or white or they can sit somewhere else.
Long time lurker here but thought I'd weigh in. I was a freshman for the 09 season and remember a very vibrant student section in lower north, granted that was for a very good team. A few years later they made the north end zone for student groups only. If you weren't in a group that had a block...
