I am a bit surprised that Bama was chosen over OSU, nothing against the Tide though. I just thought for TV ratings they might go with a yankee team. Clemson, GA and Bama are in a pretty small geographical area, Tuscaloosa is just 274 miles from Athens and 347 miles from Greenville. Athens is only 96 miles from Greenville. Not walking distance but in the big scheme it is a small triangle.

Since the days of Bear Bryant and Alabama dominating college football, Alabama has had a national fan base.

The reason OSU was rejected and it should be no surprise is that one of their 2 losses is a 55-23 thrashing they absorbed by the unranked Iowa Hawkeyes. Case closed.

Throw Auburn in there and call it 'the magic triangle', eh
