It's going to be another hotly contested week in the SEC, with The Crimson Tide duking it out against the Tigers of L.S.U. who are 7.5 point underdogs. At this stage in the season it is fair to say that Alabama is the team to beat and their current attack seems more balanced then ever. But, this game has more to do with the national title picture than conference standings. Presumably if the Tide wins they are more than likely going to face Florida in the conference championship baring anything drastic happening to either team. Thus, the winner of this presumed game is going to compete for the BCS championship. But, what if both of these teams have one loss and Boise State wins out, along with Cincy and Oregon wins the rest of their games? How many of us would like to see Boise State vs. Oregon in that final game of the 2009-2010 season?
The recipe for disaster always looms at large when dealing with college football. How many other times are you going to rely on 19, 20 year old kids to handle enormous amounts of pressure?
