00:00I guess, Bill, the best side, if you took it, would have been taking Alabama in the
00:07first half, because it certainly looked like they were the better team there, but Georgia
00:11was by far the better team in the second half of that game.
00:15The only thing I think we could wish for, Bill, is a rematch of some kind between these
00:19two teams, because that was fun to watch.
00:22An amazing September stage.
00:24I likened it to a September Super Bowl, the best Sunday night football matchup you could
00:28possibly imagine on the NFL side.
00:31That's how it felt.
00:32You know, a tale of two halves, Jalen Milrow won the Heisman in the first half, and then
00:36Alabama nearly collapsed in the second half.
00:39I thought my biggest takeaway was the most important player on the field was Ryan Williams,
00:44a 17-year-old freshman who averages 29 yards per catch, made the signature play in that
00:49game.
00:50And as far as impact for Alabama, you can almost pencil them in the playoff now.
00:56Now, they do have rivalry games with Tennessee, LSU, they got to go to Oklahoma on a road
01:02game, but I like them in the playoff now.
01:04For Georgia, you could say, well, they're in two, but they still have to play Texas,
01:09Tennessee, Ole Miss, two of those games on the road, and they better find a running game,
01:15because that's the weakness that I saw with Georgia right now.
01:17If they can't get that running game going, they're going to run into problems in those
01:21games.
01:22I still think they're good for the playoff, but I thought Alabama came out of that.
01:26The better team and the better path to what comes next.
01:29Yeah.
01:30And Melrose moved ahead of Cam Ward for the highest spin, and as Bill mentioned, without
01:34running the ball, Georgia just forced their defense to be on the field way too much in
01:38the first half.
01:39And that was the reason why.
01:40But before we get to this next game, and I do want to hit on Mississippi and what has
01:45happened to Kentucky, Bill, at this stage of college football, maybe I don't understand
01:50how it works, and maybe I'm not even sure if you know how it works either, but is there
01:55a hypothetical scenario that we've never seen before, which is someone, some school
02:02going to Ryan Williams and NIL-ing him and offering him an insane amount of money, him
02:07leaving Alabama?
02:08Have we reached that point?
02:09Because we haven't seen anything I don't think that significant.
02:13Maybe Caleb Williams, I guess he did leave too.
02:15But could that happen?
02:16Could some team come in and offer Ryan Williams more money than an NFL wide receiver to leave?
02:23Could happen.
02:24I would use that as a verb.
02:26So maybe I think you're on to something there, because it's going to happen every offseason,
02:30where you have the two most exciting players in college football right now, not the best,
02:34but the two most exciting are Ryan Williams and Jeremiah Smith at Ohio State, an outstanding
02:39freshman receiver.
02:40I don't know if you saw he had the two back-to-back one-handed catches.
02:44He's absolutely phenomenal on that Ohio State team.
02:47He leads them in total touchdowns.
02:49So I wonder if it becomes a year-to-year thing, where these guys have to fight that off, because
02:54they have to play in college football for three years.
02:57And I'm looking at those two, and I'm thinking, man, they would probably go on day one or
03:01day two of the NFL draft, given the importance of the receiver position.
03:05So that is something to watch moving forward.
03:08In the present tense, watch those two as much as you can.
03:11It's about as exciting as you can be.
