ATLANTA, Ga.–I cannot, and do not wish to, take football as seriously as most fans. Just to be as silly as everyone else, I’ll make a prediction:

Alabama 28, Florida 20.

The feline consensus is Alabama wins by scores of 20-14, 31-21, 28-24 and 38-28. The cats and I know as much as every expert I listened to this week and all I can say is my ears are bleeding from the hyperbole, re: bull.

Yes, Tim Tebow has two national championships and a Heisman.
Yes, they are number one and Alabama number two
Yes they are riding a 22-game winning streak.

Florida is great and no doubt the hype about the second consecutive year that the SEC Championship between 1 and 2; last year the Crimson Tide was top-ranked and 12-0 before the Gators turned a 20-17 score into a 31-20 fourth quarter win that put them into the #1 spot and a BSC bowl where they won it all.

The video shows the lengths at which fans will go to pump of the mindset of a big game and sisters and brothers of the college football milieu, this is a VERY BIG GAME.

It is also sport. Eleven guys running around; chasing one another for an elusive dream called “National Championship.” So, rather than add to all the migraine-inducing onslaught of stats and who is better I’ll just say this:

“I hope for a game where no one is injured and everyone plays fair and that the CBS announcers acknowledge at least once how much they are Florida-Tebow fans. We already know it from all the telecasts this year and since they are not playing the game they should shut the photon up and just enjoy it like all of us at home.”

Finally, I disagree with most experts that the pressure is on Alabama. Wrong, it is on both teams. Alabama wants to prove its gained experience against a team they could have defeated last year and Florida wants to finish an undefeated season, win a 3rd Tebow-lead #1 team and perhaps another Heisman.

Alabama will have fun, no doubt, and if Arenas, Ingram, Peek and Jones play well Florida may learn what Miami did in 1992: talk is cheap and defense wins championships. Expect it close until the defense pays a visit to the backfield and Arenas intercepts two passes and returns a punt for a Touchdown. McElroy will have a solid game and the Florida defensive line will think about stopping Ingram for rushing for - oh - 148 yards, but will just stand and marvel as he whisks by!

Roll Tide for Alabama
and
Go Gators for Florida

So much fun to predict knowing nothing more than a feeling! Enjoy the game everyone.
