'Truth be told, Saban has to be secretly thrilled that everyone is throwing rose petals at Georgia’s cleats,' writes KevinScarbinsky, who pens a regular column for The Lede. 🐘🏈🐶
The college football season doesn’t truly begin in Tuscaloosa until the end is near. Until cracks appear in the Great Wall of Saban. Until an inferior opponent - which is to say, any opponent - has the audacity to make the Crimson Tide bleed its own blood.
Armageddon came early this year as Texas put the heat on Alabama two weeks ago. That meant it was only a matter of time until some pundit in search of a prediction that will come true one day declared the dynasty dead, dying or, at the very least, not feeling very well.Have to give Paul credit for that new twist on a tired take. Instead of suggesting the Tide is receding, he observed that Georgia is setting a new high-water mark as the elite of the elite.
There is evidence in support. After four straight losses to his mentor, Kirby Smart finally got the better of Saban in last season’s National Championship Game. As an encore, despite a mass exodus of NFL talent, the Bulldogs needed just two games to vault both Alabama and Ohio State to return to No. 1 in the AP poll, where they spent the majority of last season before that hiccup in the SEC Championship Game.
While Alabama was sweating out Texas in between swatting Utah State and Louisiana Monroe, Georgia has cooked Oregon, Samford and South Carolina by a combined 130-10. Kent State coach Sean Lewis, this week’s unfortunate victim headed for the Dawg House, emptied an industrial vat of rat poison at Smart’s feet.
