Not college (yet) but I thought this fun fact kinda fit in here.

From today's Georgia HS Football Daily newsletter:

When Hillgrove plays at Marietta tomorrow night the game will "feature the state's top two recruits, Hillgrove DE Myles Murphy (No. 1, committed to Clemson) and Marietta TE Arik Gilbert (No. 2, LSU). It will be the first time a Georgia game has featured the state's top two recruits since 2007, when Westlake's Cam Newton faced Creekside's Eric Berry."

Those two guys turned out to be pretty good.

It's actually a pretty good week for stray HS trivia.
Athens Academy will play the first of back to back games at Hebron Christian (regularly scheduled week 9 game tomorrow, region championship crossover game next week). Hebron's head coach is former Indianapolis Colt Jeff Saturday

And in a situation that mirrors college football today, John's Creek will host Alpharetta. JC is led by a QB that transferred from newish upstart Denmark HS ... after Denmark took in a transfer QB from perennial powerhouse Buford.
