Congratulations to Georgia:

The Alabama dynasty has finally been toppled!  Someone new takes the throne for once!  Except -- it's still the SEC.  And the head coach of Georgia used to be an assistant coach to Sabin at Alabama. . .  the more things change the more they stay the same.  (Meanwhile, at the FCS level, North Dakota State has won yet again.  Someone needs to hurry up and topple that dynasty too.)

College football is over.  The NFL Playoffs begin in just a few days though.  Football is far from over.  And the Olympics are less than a month away.  2022 is so fun!

I flipped 4 5-star songs for 4 4-star songs -- Haruka Kanata from Naruto, The Windwalker Monks from World of Warcraft, A Moment's Rest from FF12 and Main Theme from Terra Battle were replaced with '3nin no Dragon Slayer' and 'Don't let me down' from Fairy Tail as well as 'Snowy Plains theme' from Heroes of Might and Magic 2 and 'Rolling Star' from Bleach.  But that's it!  From here on my playlist is bulletproof.  I tested every single song for any possible weakness, there's nothing but survivors left!  Even the songs I demoted weren't bad at all, I just thought they were worse than their 4-star rivals.  In a relative contest of strength it doesn't matter how good you are -- it's a lot like how Alabama can be a good team and still lose to Georgia.

The lesson to be learned here is that there is a paper-thin gap in quality between the worst of the 5-star songs and the best of the 4-star songs, a zone of about 100 tunes that could go either way on any given day.  But that still leaves over 90% of 5-star songs as having never been in question from the beginning of this process.
