Georgia is playing two five-loss teams (one of which graduated the #2 pick in the NFL draft), a six-loss team, and a I-AA team that went 2-9...and that's the toughest non-con schedule in the SEC? Yikes!
The Alabama Crimson Tide are showing lots of pride in their team right now. They are paying their new coach Nick Saban more than any other coach in the nation. And they had over 92,000 fans show up for their spring game this year. Expectations are high in Tuscaloosa, Al right now.
