Championship Games this Saturday

There are only two championship games that I care about in college football this Saturday. The winners of the Big 12 and SEC championship games are going to the title game in January. Now you ask....wait a minute....what if Oklahoma loses?

Oklahoma losing is not even a possibility. The only chance Oklahoma has is if Missouri decides the throw the ball over 10 yards which they aren't going to do, and Missouri discovers a defense in which they don't have. Sam Bradford will have 3 to 4 TDs, the Sooner Scooner will roll over Missouri like the great river. Oklahoma will be in the title game, but who will be the other player for the glass ball.

Alabama vs. Florida
The clash in the SEC. We may have the only noncontroversial championship game in the history of college football. Both Florida and Alabama are unquestionably the best teams in their conference and they deserve the chance to brag in their own unique southern drawl.

Florida has been playing great lately. They are using Tim Tebow like they should. When you see a team with a weak D-line, rush your 260 linebacker playing quarterback at them and by the end of the day he'll have 5 TDs. Only problem for Florida is Tebow won't be playing inside the opponents redzone so often against a great Alabama defense. The key to the Florida Gator's season is not whether or not Tebow can score 5 TDs. It's whether or not Florida's defense shows up as the country's best the way they have the last 4 weeks. People say that USC's defense is the best, NO WAY. The speed and ferocity of Florida's defense line and the athleticism of their D-backs is unparalleled. If the Florida Gator's defense shows up to play like they have lately, Tebow will have the ball in the redzone and get those cheap TDs.

I think the defense will show up on both ends of the ball but Florida wins a close one.
