re: So little debate over College football’s two best coaches competing against each other

There's just no real reason for them to have animosity despite being each other's main obstacle to a title.

If Georgia bests Alabama and "takes the mantle" so to speak, Alabama still had perhaps the greatest run in college football history. They all know Saban is in his final years (even if it's more like 5-6 and less like 1-2 as some people wish) and they're thankful for what they got and that they're still going strong.

Georgia basically purged every possible historical demon in 2021 and has been riding a fever dream for the ages ever since, and they know time is on their side even if they get set back.

Both programs certainly worry about the other decisively overtaking them somehow, but that's more of a fear borne of mutual respect, not hate.
