College football and its crowd traditions are back to their full glory like they were in 2019, before Covid-19 restrictions sharply limited fan attendance in 2020. Some of the country's biggest powerhouses -- including Georgia, Alabama, Ohio State and Oklahoma, to name a few -- are hosting games to full capacity on Saturday.
