Actually, Alabama does a much better job of graduating their players than Tech does. Bama has a GSR of 80, while Tech is much lower at 66.

Cool, that has nothing to do with which one has better academics.

And yes, I'm fully aware that the article you linked in the OP takes in different metrics like graduation rates and whatnot. That has nothing to do with which school is better.

Probably because Alabama is a much easier place to graduate from if you've got the mind of the average football player.

Uhhhhh that doesn't mean they graduated with better grades....cause Tech would blow them out of the water. This poll is not totally accurate about academia amongst college football ranked teams. And graduation rate is based on the average make student at the school and that can be misleading.
