The time has come for these two teams to slug it out for a SEC crown but more importantly a trip to the National Championship. Let's do a little breaking down of the game..
Bama's oline vs the Gators D-line. Can
Bama be able to handle the stunts and bull rushes of the best D-line in the nation? Can the Gators get over losing their best pass rusher?
Bama's oline has to be able to pass protect for
McElroy. Florida will put emphasis on shutting down
Heisman hopeful Mark Ingram and making
McElroy beat them with his arm. As for Florida, Jermaine Cunningham is as talented as Carlos Dunlap. Gator DC Charlie Strong will
likely set up mismatches
against the
Bama oline.
Joe Haden vs Julio Jones- Julio has come on strong as of late and
that's a good thing for
Bama since they have struggled early in the passing game. Joe
Haden is a very talented corner that will easily be a first round pick in the NFL. Look for
Julio to try and get going on isolated coverage but
Haden doesn't give up much if any yards.
Special Teams- This position may very well decide the game. The Gators don't give up any yards on punts. Literally, go look at the stats. However, like I mentioned
earlier in the week Javier Arenas just isn't anybody. He has set NCAA records in punt returns. Look for Florida to kick away if they have to punt. The Gators have a dynamic
returner in Brandon James and we know what he rings to the table.
Tim Tebow vs Rolando McClain- Two great competitors who have
tremendous respect for each other will go head to head a few times. McClain will likely be a "spy" on third and short. We all know
Tebow does his magic during this time and McClain knows first hand from last year's game.
Saban vs Meyer- Saban knows defense, Meyer knows offense. These two are the best in the business in what they do. It will be
interesting to see what each has in store for one another.
Saban usually gets revenge on the second shot and Meyer is just a big game coach in
marquee games.
Final Prediction- Florida 24
Bama 20. I except another
slugfest between this two. It hard to ignore the
Tebow factor in big games. I think he
again just wills the Gators to another SEC Championship......However, I will be glad to take my words back if
Bama wins.
Have a good weekend!
Mark Ingram becomes the first Alabama football player to take the Heisman home. Well deserved for him.
Sorry for such the long delay between posts, the jobby job has had me locked down. Well, Bama destroyed Florida and now will play Texas for the National Champioship. The Tide looked very impressive on their way to the SEC title.

Ivan Maisel writes a good articel about why the Tebow factor is hard to ignore when facing the Gators. He asks four coaches from the SEC who all went 0-2 in facing Bama and Florida this year, Whats they keys to beating either team.http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/columns/story?columnist=maisel_ivan&id=4706117
-Florida took a big hit in the suspension of DE Carlos Dunlap for his DUI. Dunlap is their best pass rusher and is a huge mismatch for opposing offenses. Look for UF to get some work in from their younger guys such as Willie Green. Bama QB Greg McElroy can probably rest a little easy but the Gators D is still just as ramped.
Well, we have arrived at the last week of regular season football in the SEC. It has been another short(or long depending on who your team is) season that has blinked before our eyes. The SEC championship game will wrap up this 2009 campaign with the game everyone has wanted to see. Florida and Bama will take on each other in a rematch of last year's game. December 5th is still a week away and will preview that game up and down. Let's get to these games first..
It's that time of the year.Rivalry week! This is where pride and bragging rights lay to claim at least till next year. Here is a look at the upcoming SEC rivalry games for the week.
Not to hard of picks to make this week. As we start closing in on Championship weekend in two weeks, the two title contenders have put cupcakes on their list. Florida and Bama will when with ease. No need to try and dissect those games.

This picture is being provided due to lack of excitement in this weeks game. Gonna be pretty quiet this week as we have some big miss matches.
PERFECTION!
This is short and sweet but I totally agreeded with ESPN's Chris Lowe on picks this week..
The nation will get what it wanted as on December 5th, Alabama will take on Florida in a rematch which will decide who is king of the south and possibly the nation. It promises to be another great one as both teams maybe also searching for perfection. Personally, I would love to have a ticket in my hand for this one(anyone have a hook up?) I will be pulling for Bama but my gut tells me Florida is still the team to beat.
A lot of easy games to pick on the slot this week(or so it seems) Lets waste no time....
Today, Chris Low from ESPN takes a look at the South Carolina struggles and where they plan on going from there http://espn.go.com/blog/sec
Let me begin by saying and clearing the air, Florida is a good team, no doubt. UGA probably had no shot(they tend to shoot themselves in the foot)to win this game but that doesn't give the excuse to act like a thug. Brandon Spikes has been on my radar since last year's game where he rolled around like he was being shot after Knowshon pushed his nasty looking ass away. To me he is a waste of talent and when he reaches the NFL, I would expect his name to show up in the docket book a few times. He is nothing but your prototyipcal thug ass player who uses eye gauging and shit talk to make his way be known. He had gold teeth and talks as if he has a third grade reading level. As for Urban Meyer suspending him for one half.....not shocking at all coming from him. His incident is way worse then any bullshit calls the SEC refs have made this year but it won't get reviewed. The SEC needs money so bashing the pretty boys wouldn't be smart. Plus it looks like Spikes has a bunch of spiders meeting on his head or a giant tarantula. Just a waste...and no more space to write about this piece of shit.
