Well, the first BCS standings are out and it looks good for the SEC with Florida No. 1 and Alabama No. 2.
In the previous 11 seasons in which the BCS was used to determine the teams that would play for the national championship, either the No. 1 or No. 2 team in the first standings of that season has gone on to play in the title game — six times for the top team, five times the second place team. And yours truly wouldn’t be surprised if the Tide and Gators had a rematch of their SEC championship game in the BCS title game.
Barring injuries or unforeseen circumstances, it looks like the Florida and Bama should roll into the Georgia Dome undefeated.
There are five SEC games on this weekend’s slate, all of them important, but none bigger than the one to be played in Tuscaloosa.
