Roll Tide!

Well, yesterday the Tide took care of business against Mississippi. I think they only did it because no matter what happens they are done for. If there was any way for them to get out of playing Florida in the SEC championship, I'm sure they would've taken advantage of that.

This is how I see everything panning out:

Oklahoma should beat Texas Tech at home. These kind of wins are expected for a program like Oklahoma. They will be favored in this game.

Florida WILL beat Alabama. Yes, Alabama is scrappy, a good story, and well coached. But when they play Florida, you know what else they will be? Out-gunned.

After this happens, the BCS will be in disarray worse than ever. We will have six one loss teams with about equal credentials: USC, Florida, Alabama, Texas Tech, Texas, Oklahoma. As much as I'd like to include Penn State I can't. They are in the Big Ten.

One of the teams is going to get bumped because of the Big 12 Championship. Well, you would like to think that, anyway. ALL THREE of the one-loss schools are from the Big 12 South.

For once, USC appears to be getting the short end of the stick. They are playing great ball, but almost undoubtedly will be left in the cold.

I think more emphasis should be placed on who is playing the best football in the country. That may sound simple, but think about it. Even though Florida has one loss, do you think Texas Tech and Alabama are better teams? If not, then move them down. USC deserves a chance as much as any other of the other five teams, but they are faced with an enormous obstacle: The media's raging hard-on for the SEC and Big 12.

So what is the solution? Well, if the scenario plays out how I think it will, then when it gets to BCS selection time, you might as well draw the names out of a hat.

What is my prediction? Florida vs. Oklahoma, leaving the hook 'em Horns crew in a frenzy. It's going to be a tough year for the BCS committee.
