I figure the cost of that first drink is likely more than the $4.99 Peacock fee for the month.
I have a budget for drinks

Rose Bowl sightings notwithstanding.

Donovan Edwards played most of last season with a partially torn patellar tendon in his knee and the back half of last season with a broken right hand. He's right handed. 

Kid is a freak of nature. Just imagine how good he'll be with a healthy knee and a not broken right hand...

According to college football insider Bruce Feldman, Jim Harbaugh’s program has added a “Beat Georgia” portion to practices to focus on the top dogs in the country. It is supposedly similar to the “Beat Ohio” segment installed in years past.

“You have to get through the SEC to win the national title right? Their archrival — who they whipped at their own place — was like this close to winning that game and knocking the Bulldogs out of the mix,” said Feldman on the Move the Sticks Podcast with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks. “I think this Michigan team is more talented than the one they just had. I think it’s considerably more talented. I like their chances. One thing I heard a couple of years ago, one of the things that helped flip the switch at Michigan is they started to embrace the going after Ohio State year-round and they installed this ‘Beat Ohio’ period to practices… All of a sudden, now, I heard they have a ‘Beat Georgia’ period too.”

I think so.    I see them in the CFP.   Their schedule sure helps too.

UGA might need an "Ohio hour" or something.

Nope.  UGA beat them fair and square, in a very good and entertaining game.

UGA "won", but the outcome was in doubt.  OSU was/is very good obviously.  Penn State might get interesting.

If I had to bet, I'd bet on Bama making it, I know they have QB questions.  I think past history influences me overly.

Bama was, a few seasons back, built on defense and running game that could afford a less than stellar QB.

Yeah, and now four starting NFL QBs hail from Bama, they've had some really good ones.  I don't know if they do today of course.  I don't know if their defense is stellar either.  Saban created the model of course.

yup, a run of NFL QBs can and should cause the O-coordinator to shift the scheme
I'd guess the defense is stellar by most metrics, just not by comparison to Georgia or maybe the top 3 nationally
