All right.

Quick take on Monday.

I mean, on Saturday's game up in Knoxville.

And if you get a chance, go to my... uh, Twitter page and listen to my analysis there.

It's Gary Harris underscore WVUA.

And also, uh, you can follow me while you're there.

Um, I just give an honest evaluation.

It's gotten a lot of responses.

Same thing on Facebook.

Uh, my Gary Harris, WVUA 23 page.

It is, um, It is posted there as well.

It's about a four-minute analysis, so I'll try to give you the short version because then we'll get to phone calls.

I want to be fair to Alabama, okay? And if you know, back in the summer when I did my game-by-game picks, I picked Alabama to lose to Georgia, I picked them to lose to Tennessee, and I picked them to lose to LSU.

I flip-flopped both those games.

During the season, I picked Georgia, Alabama over Georgia, and Alabama over Tennessee 24-17.

But I didn't know that it was going to be a tough game.

I said that all week.

Unlike some others.

But here's where we're at in college football.

It's not just an Alabama issue.

You have to be able to adjust your thinking.

I'm still trying to adjust my thinking.

It's a week-to-week endeavor, and it's a season-to-season endeavor.

With the portal and with the NIL money, you're not going to build stability in your programs and be dominant for a long period of time anymore.

uh i don't think it's just it's it's just too hard to do there's too many uh the continuity is not there um you know after this season they're gonna have to reshape the roster so again next year you're bringing in a bunch of new guys a bunch of new guys are playing just because they come from the portal and they've played a lot of football doesn't mean that they understand your system and how you do things so it's harder to have that kind of continuity and and you know we had a long period when i was growing up in the bowl days um long before the college football playoff you know in the 70s and 80s it was um You know, it's probably six to eight teams every year you felt like had a legitimate chance to win the national championship.
