It’s Week 14, the SEC Championship Game Week, the week all football fans have been waiting on all season long. Let’s not kid ourselves. Saturday’s affair in the Georgia Dome is THE GAME … the real national title game.
Oh, they will put on what they will call the BCS Championship Game on Jan. 7 in the Rose Bowl. It will be quite a show, out in California and all. But that’s what it will be, a show. Whichever wins Saturday at the Georgia Dome in the SEC title tilt, Florida or Alabama, will be the favorite and should handily defeat whoever the BCS puts up against them – be it Texas, TCU, or Cincinnati, or ……
That is not meant as an insult to the Longhorns, Horned Frogs or anyone else. It’s just the way it is this season.
All season long, it’s been Florida or Alabama at No. 1 and the other at No. 2. Everyone has watched as the Tide and Gators ticked off win after win … everyone holding their breaths, hoping neither would slip. And they didn’t. Now we are here. Both teams come to Atlanta with perfect 12-0 marks. Only one can leave still undefeated.
