Epic matchup hype being ruined by fatigue narrative.

Since 2005 there has been one other matchup between teams that on average are 30 points better than their opponents by FPI. USC vs Texas 05 and this game. These are two giants playing right now and the only thing people can do is groan about “the same matchup.” and look for non fans I can get it can a be little tiring seeing the same uniforms. But it shouldn’t be this year with all the major players who have never played against each other. It’s essentially the first time matchup for a lot of these players. Regardless it’s just sad how this game is viewed with how amazing the matchup actually is.

Yea, it really sucks that all the discussion is about the trip and possible empty seats and all that nonsense.

This is a USC-Texas level game, as you mentioned. Both team are as good as any team at the end of the season in the last decade.

There is no issue with Fatigue. There is most certainly an issue with costs for 2 fan bases. Maybe the nitwits at the CFP will realize that they can only milk us fans for so much money before we say NO MORE!!!

Well yeah the stadium itself is a different but real issue. But I’m talking about just the standard viewing from fans. Non bama and Clemson fans think this game is boring and that’s just sad

Venue sucks, narrative sucks for fans of other teams, etc.

Don't care. This matchup is best on best and will be epic. Exceptional football will be played, and greatness will be crowned. frick the haters.

Roll Tide.
