Well put into consideration that Georgia and Clemson are going at it. I know the fact that we're UA and the 3 out of the last 4 will draw a lot of ratings, but the average football fan will look at this and see another Alabama blow out and prefer to see two top 10 teams go at it. Maybe if we were playing a bigger time school like USC, Oklahoma, or Ohio State..
