Rivalry Week Is Here: Grudges, Goals & Bacarri Rambo on Georgia's Edge

It's the best weekend of the year in college football—rivalry week. Brien and AV run through a loaded slate with trophies, bragging rights, and playoff positioning all on the line. From ACC chaos and SEC grudge matches to The Game and the Lone Star Showdown, they make picks, question soft teams, and sort out who's for real heading into championship week. Then Georgia All-American Bacarri Rambo joins to talk Dawgs, Clean Old Fashioned Hate, and what it takes to dominate between the hedges. What's inside: Rivalry Rundown: Rapid-fire picks with stakes attached—Miami–Pitt, UNC–NC State, FSU–Florida, Virginia Tech–Virginia (Commonwealth Cup), Kentucky–Louisville (Governor's Cup), Clemson–South Carolina (Palmetto Bowl), Arizona–Arizona State (Territorial Cup), Indiana–Purdue (Old Oaken Bucket), USC–UCLA (Victory Bell), Northwestern–Illinois (Land of Lincoln), Wisconsin–Minnesota (Paul Bunyan's Axe), Ole Miss–Mississippi State (Egg Bowl), Vanderbilt–Tennessee, and the Iron Bowl. Lone Star Showdown: Deep dive on Texas A&M at Texas—Arch Manning's growth, Marcel Reed's dual-threat impact, whether A&M is physical enough up front, schedule skepticism, and dueling score predictions in a 27–21 vs 28–27 nail-biter debate. The Game: Ohio State–Michigan breakdown—why Vegas has OSU -9.5, Buckeyes' suffocating defense, Michigan's run-heavy identity, and why Brien and AV both lean Buckeyes as the most complete team in the country. Clean Old Fashioned Hate: Georgia vs Georgia Tech in Atlanta—Haynes King's workload, Tech's defensive issues, Georgia's improving lines and run game, and why both see the Dawgs pulling away (38–17 / 42–17) despite an early scrap. AV's Book Club – Rivalry Edition: AV's rivalry card—UF -2.5 vs Florida State, Tennessee -2.5 vs Vanderbilt, Clemson +2.5 vs South Carolina, plus a bonus play: Oregon -6.5 at Washington in a spot he thinks the Ducks win by two scores. Between the Hedges with Bacarri Rambo: Georgia All-American safety Bacarri Rambo joins the show—recruiting stories, Coach Richt's impact, that 2011 All-American season, what makes Sanford special, advice for KJ Bolden, and how he sees Dawgs–Jackets playing out this year.
