Alabama Crimson Tide 32
Florida Gators 13

In what was billed as a game for the ages, the Crimson Tide rolled over the Florida Gators, stepped on their faces, and twisted.  From gun to gun, this game was never in question.  The Gators entered the SEC Championship Game as five point favorites and are going home spanked. no comments

I had the opportunity to sit down tonight with two great minds when it comes to college football.  Aaron Torres (www.AaronTorres-Sports.com) and Allen Kenney (www.BlatantHomerism.com) know their stuff and know it well.  I try to hold my end of the bargain up, but be warned, I do have a face for the radio and a voice made for the shower.

We literally covered the gamut in a marathon-esque podcast that covered almost 90 full minutes from start to finish: no comments

Of course, as with any great idea, we received our inspiration from the great Brian Harbach of Scout.com

As you are reading this, there are still several backroom deals being cut ... don't you just love college bowl season?

Of course, people are constantly adjusting their college bowl projections .... here are our original picks that were made on November 16th ... over two weeks ago.

Once LSU has been released from BCS consideration, expect the dam to break and tons of announcements to be forth coming ... at least we are not (likely) going to have to wait until next week as we would have if Bama and Florida both were not undefeated. no comments

Florida coach Urban Meyer has suspended DE Carlos Dunlap for the SEC Championship game.  In a program that has been riddled with arrests during his tenure, Urban Meyer has done the right thing.  While the coach could have put the player above the team and 'allow the justice system to run its course', Meyer did not hesitate to send a message to his players.
