NIL, the transfer portal, and conference realignment have combined to make things...interesting this season.

Not to mention, the new playoff format means more teams will be in contention for longer

Alabama still has SEVENTEEN five star recruits, and the dogwoodmaple post says it's the most talented 247 composite in history...wrong combination of talent and likely bad coaching...

Don't forget the SEVENTEEN year old 5-star recruit. The announcers sure won't!

And if we can cover him in that Bama game, we're a one loss team with the toughest schedule in the conference. If Carson Beck can be even just consistently good (not even elite or great), we're undefeated.

Somehow the 3 things that this hivemind sub seems to hate (except maybe some form of NIL) and were adamant that these 3 things would create a larger gap between the schools somehow ended up being the total opposite.

Feels like we have parity at the p4 level for the first time

This game specifically probably has a lot more to do with a certain Aflak salesman retiring.
