Are we getting a full Bama preview podcast?

I would love some analysis that is based on the actual teams on the field after a month of national articles talking about Harbaugh's bowl record and recruiting rankings of players when they were 16. It's been exhausting.

Well, you have the two FFFF articles from Alex - are those not enough for you?  You can make your own preview from those - Brian does!  The Friday preview pods don't usually start until noon, and the guys are in CA today.  Maybe later this afternoon?  Maybe take a nap so you're not so exhausted from the lack of coverage when the coverage starts?

The FFFF's are amazing (have been as good as they've ever been this season) but it's also useful to layer Brian's and Seth's opinions on top of Alex's.  Speaking of which, we haven't heard from our fearless leader in a while.  Please tell me he hasn't been hired by Saban for bowl prep...

Seth, I am in too fragile of a state of mind right now.  I only want to hear all the reasons why we're going to win this one and why Bama won't be able to hang with us...and how the butt-whooping is going to be so bad that Saban decides to abruptly retire after this game as he realizes that the game has passed him by and he hands the torch of 6 national championships in 11 years to Harbaugh.  Please and thank you.

I am looking forward to the MGoBlog podcast preview as well because I have yet to see a preview give Michigan much of a chance to win, and it is honestly a little frustrating.  While most pundits predict a close game, 90-95% of the analysis ends with some variation of "it's Alabama" or "Michigan can't handle Milroe" as the reason why Michigan will lose.  I have enjoyed the FFFF for providing actual analysis as to why Alabama is good but there are paths to a Michigan victory.  To be honest, I haven't seen this much disconnect from the pundits and the computers/Vegas (who has refused to move the line to Alabama despite the handle being so one-sided) that it feels like there are pre-written narratives that the analysts just stubbornly refuse to move off of.  For example, after Barrett mentioned the other day that the video of the CFP selection reaction was the team shock at FSU being left out, a CBS writer released an entire column that basically amounted to "yeah, right."
