Will the Tide Roll; Will Missouri get Revenge

Bookmark

We all know the stats, we all know both teams are good, but if Florida wins, should they go to the championship game? In the Big 12, if Missouri wins, does Texas jump everyone for a chance at the crystal football? We'll find out tomorrow as Missouri stares down #2 Oklahoma in Kansas City and #4 Florida takes on the #1 team in the country in Nick Saban's Alabama Crimson Tide.

Prediction for the SEC championship:

A trip to the national championship is on the line (most likely). All I have to say is, for all the hype, this one better be close. Florida has been playing as well as anyone in the nation on both sides of the ball, forcing turnovers and scoring at will, however, they have not faced a solid team since Ole Miss. I think that Florida will go up at the beginning with their speed and athleticism, but will be worn down by Bama's daunting defensive and offensive fronts. I do not think that Florida's highly ranked scoring defense will be able to maintain their stature with Bama having the ball for the majority of the game. They will use the blue collar football techniques they've been using all season to dominate the line of scrimmage like they did against Georgia. Now don't get me wrong, Florida is more than capable of winning, I just don't think they will. Same score as the Ole Miss game in Gainesville: Bama 31 - Florida 30

Prediction for the Big-12 championship:

If you remember the end of last year's college football regular season, you'll remember how LSU and Ohio State got into the championship game. Pitt upset WVU and Missouri lost to Oklahoma. This season, with Missouri and Oklahoma, it's a roll reversal. Oklahoma is scoring over 50 points per game. Missouri's pass defense is in the bottom 20. I don't think that Mizzou is going to be able to hang around, although I think it will be close. Oklahoma wins, and sets up a Bama-Sooner Championship. Oklahoma 54 - Mizzou 41
