If you remember the 1992 season it was the same way just play well enough to win no matter who your playing !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its the Bama way !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your're right.I was just responding to the post saying that Fla better not play the way they did against Ole Miss.I'm just saying that Ole Miss is a hell of a team and came damn close to ruining this Bama-FLa matchup.I'm with you guys,I think this is going to be a tight,emotional game.A game in which not a damn thing matters as far as who you beat and didn't beat during the regular season or how well you played against a certain opponent.I'm thoroughly convinced that Bama wasn't emotionally into playing Tulane or UK.But I think the same can be said for Fla against Ole miss.I admit,this is a tough one for me.No way is this a clear cut cover for either team.

[guru-t]

I'm not a fan of either team.I'm a mountaineer and will take SFla+7 Sat night because I know that SFla plays us better than anyboby.I don't bet with my heart.That'll cost ya some money.I'm going to have my write up on this thing in a little while.I'm neutral.

Jax, There is no doubt that on paper Florida is a better team, nobody is denying that.. The real question lies in what kind of coach you are. I think Alabama has held alot back all year and done what works, Urban Meyer LOVES running up the score.. Alabama for some reason gets business taken care of, and won't run another great play all game, its all ball control..

If you think about it, it's a smart way of playing. Reason is because Alabama hasn't even exposed half of what Florida will see... Saban, like Meyer both have been paying attention to eachother for quite some time now... They get paid alot of money to win games.. Its not a lock... simple

and you know this HOW? you must have inside info from Saban. He's been waiting all season for this SECC game to pull the special plays out. guess he didnt feel the need to use them agaisnt LSU/Ole Miss/Kentucky

nobody is claiming a lock as far as I have read.

I went to Alabama for 2 years. A professor of mine up there i still keep in touch with solely because he is an alum from my Fraternity knows a booster @ Alabama.. My information is legit. Saban also said this on his show Sunday night

[JRS21386]

My excuse to the LSU game is LSU had a ton of emotion in that game i don't think Alabama was ready for. Alabama didn't view that as a big game because LSU was already done for the most part. Every "Big" game this year Alabama has answered the call. And im not saying Clemson or Georgia is what they started out as. But Alabama gained a TON of confidence rising up to the occasion to beat a number 8 Clemson in Atlanta, and a number 3 Georgia IN ATHENS.. Alabama feels they can play with anyone. This is a HUGE game, and i expect them to answer the call once again

[JRS21386]

I think Alabama's secondary is REALLY good... We'll see though.. I gotta run, good talk though... Im anxious for Saturday!

[ZBOIZ]

Guys this is coming from a man that knows Saban coaching very well!!

What you seen from Saban to this point is what you will get Saturday. Saban is a real conservative coach that will not do anything special you can bet that.

Actually that is why I did'nt care to much for him. His teams always lacked the effort in the 3rd and 4th quarter of ball games. He did it at LSU and now I have seen it at Bama. This will bite Bama in the Azz. Maybe not the SEC championship but some game it will.

Just like he almost lost to Tulane this year, he lost to UL Monroe last year, he lost to UAB at LSU, and he almost lost to THE DAMN CITADEL at LSU!! He is way to conservative. MARK MY WORD!!! IF FLORIDA GOES UP BY MORE THAN A TOUCHDOWN OVER ALABAMA IT' S OVER!!!!!

I see a lot of FSU's pass defense being ranked high. The reason for that is you dont have to throw against them because they cant stop the run. I will take a group of good players that play as a team instead of your one DL player and a bunch of individuals. Look what that gets you. Im loving the GA fans on here bashing Bama. They will never forgive us for what we did to them in their own stadium on Blackout night. The rest of these guys not giving Bama a chance and getting blown out ? I bet that if Bama wins they will be on here after the game saying why we will get blown out against Oklahoma or Texas. All I can say to these people is put your money where your mouths are! Dont bet more than you can afford to lose. ROLL TIDE!

[bama22]

I swear you guys are trying to find every reason to find why Bama will lose. Players, schedule, last year, Saban, when Saban coached at LSU? Give me a break!!! He did lose to some of those teams and lost to them his first year when he was rebuilding a team. You forgot to mention what he did the following year. In case you forgot WON A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP and is very close to another one in his second year here at ALABAMA.

You can find flaws in every team! The point is Bama will have there hands full!!!

NO NO Saban lost a lot of them games on his coaching style!!

You Bama folks will see in the future. He already lost to UL Monroe and alomost lost to Tulane! I mean look at Tulane record and tell me how can Bama come close to loosing that game!

[mmike032]

the GAs fans give a shit about either team jackass. Why shouldnt I be bashing FLA, I think they actually had a more impressive proformance agaisnt UGA. In fact I'm not bashing Bama, have already gave Bama props for making the title game.

Just stating the facts about the game. On paper FLA should win by 2 scores but we all know the game is played on the field and not on paper.
So on the field Saturday the final score will be
FLA 42
Bama27
why b/c FLA is the better team and will go on the the BCS title game.
you just cant keep the "Golden Child"(Tebow) down. He's a man of God therefore the scriptures under his eyes will prevail him to the BCS title.
bet you handcappers havent even looked at that angle yet.
Tebow=missionary ( God loves Missionaries)

[mmike032]

Tebow even circumcised poor little helpless child this past summer.
how can you not love a guy that can not only be the best QB that ESPN analyst have ever had the pleasure of blowing out of proportion, but he can also cut the foreskin off a helpless poverty stricken child in a 3rd world country without having any medical training.
whats not to love about the golden child?

I doubt Bama has held back any this year. If anything they are conservative as someone else said of Saban. That is true. I do know this, Bama has two different game plans entering a gameThe game plan I saw for the Clemson, Georgia and Arkansas game has not been repeated since. Saban is conservative but I would be willing to bet that Bama comes out throwing saturday and Florida will do the same until they both settle down (2nd Qu). Florida may win but they will not cover this spread.

I agree !!!!!!!!!!!!

[timandmel]

alabama played a team this year with more than 8 wins ?????? and out of those teams they beat are there any of those teams in the top 15 still ???????/

Same can be said for Florida. Only teams on both schedules is Ole Miss (8) and Georgia (9)

[isotopes]

I think that when it comes to sports all the Alabama Fans need to seperate their love for their team from their betting habbits becasue Florida is going to lay the smack down on Bama and they will crush the spread. No offense bama fans, cause you have had a great season, but your D will not keep Florida under 21 points, and if you do keep them at 21 that will be a feat in itself. However, your weak, pitiful offense, 92nd ranked? what the hell is that, and against subpar opponents that were overrated in the SEC? Alabama will not put up any points, ok maybe about 9 points, on the Florida D.

Florida Cover's but buy the extra half point, strictly for insurance purposes in case by some miracle Bama only loses by 10, to get them at -9.5
