Alabama - Florida

[Rob]

The game hinges on whose offense can throw the ball effectively against the other team's defense. Neither team throws all that well (Seems to be an SEC thing) and neither team's defense is going to allow the other to run all over it. It's close but I think the Gators take it again.

[Hyde]

I tend to agree. I think it will be something of a defensive struggle with Tebow doing enough to make the difference. Sorry Jessica (daughter frosh at BAMA).

I had a fellow LSU Tiger at work tell me I should be pulling for the Gators - better for LSU recruiting against Saban. Hadn't really thought about that. Not sure how much I agree. Looked at the other way, I don't see a Bama loss hurting their recruiting all that much either. They're in the mix for all the marbles as long as Saban stays there now.

[Rob]

I'll pull for the winner in the BCS game because I want the SEC to continue winning that title but I don't care one way or the other about those two programs. They're here to stay. LSU will have to step up to keep up. They're recruiting well but that success hasn't made its way to the field the last two years. That has to change ... one way or another.

It's close but I think the Gators take it again.

Shows what we know.

[Rob]

I can honestly say that I don't know any less now than I did then. The 100001th confirmation of ignorance isn't much different than the first 100000.

[Hyde]

Yep. If ignorance is truly bliss, then Hyde is a very happy man.

That was an impressive performance by Bama. Even more impressive crying by Tebow.

[Rob]

Yeah, Tebow has some growing up to do or he'll have a very short NFL career, if he has much of one at all.
