Georgia football podcast: UGA fans should notice Oklahoma as emerging national rival

Beginning of the show: Most Georgia fans view the program’s chief competition for the College Football Playoff to be programs such as Alabama, LSU, Clemson and Ohio State — the four teams that have won national championships in the Playoff era. However, I’ll explain on today’s show why UGA fans should also consider Oklahoma in this category — both for the ways the two programs have been connected in the recent past and for the ways in which the Sooners are trying to match the Bulldogs’ effort to join the national elite.
