Georgia is the king of the SEC. That was the case even for the last few years Nick Saban was still the head coach at Alabama, but ever since he left Georgia's dominance in the SEC has only grown.
Alabama's downfall is a big reason why Georgia is just as dominant as they have ever been. But why did Alabama fall off so hard? What led them to not look like the same program they did for decades?
Those outside the program might never know the exact answers to those questions, but former Alabama defensive back Earl Little Jr. gave a little insight on what might be going on.
“At Alabama, we didn’t compete in the weight room how we do here,” Ohio State defensive back Earl Little Jr. said via x.com. “With everything you’re doing at Ohio State, you’re gonna compete and you have to be at your best every single day.”

Has Alabama gone soft? They once were the best and most respected program of all time, but recently they have become a laughing stock across the college football world.
This isn't the first example of Alabama being exposed on a national level. Just a few days ago Alabama's athletic director said he wants the SEC Championship game to end right now. On top of that, a current Alabama wide receiver put a target on their back by acting like they are still the best thing since sliced bread right now.
In reality they are no longer the program they used to be. This former Alabama player proved that because he said the Crimson Tide never competed in the weight room like he now does with his new teammates at Ohio State. If Alabama isn't taking their preparations seriously in the weight room then where else are they cutting corners?
This might just be a small example, but it is one that really stands out and shows why Alabama is a thing of the past.
