TexasTerror Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 Georgia State vs Alabama in year one. This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up I am checking into this, but I do not believe it counts as a bowl-eligible win for the Crimson Tide since I doubt GSU has the equivalencies in 2010.
HouTexan Posted June 19, 2009 Report Posted June 19, 2009 Wow. That's a shocker...for both Alabama and Ga. St.
AJ25 Posted June 19, 2009 Report Posted June 19, 2009 good job for georgia state pulling this game.. terrible job of alabama for agreeing to it..
TexasTerror Posted June 21, 2009 Author Report Posted June 21, 2009 Sports Network on the subject... Alabama is looking to rebuild its Bear Bryant-sized reputation under Nick Saban, meaning that the Crimson Tide won't be wanting to go lightly on any team, let alone the fledgling Georgia State program. But such a game could have as big an impact on Alabama as it might on Georgia State's fragile psyche. With only two scholarship classes in place for Georgia State when the contest is played, the game will not count towards Alabama's bowl eligibility, unless NCAA rules are changed. And such an encounter is likely to be devastating on the Crimson Tide's chances to reach a BCS bowl game, let alone that travesty the BCS calls a national championship game.
