SEC title game thread

Florida opens at -5.5.

Vegas Insider

It will be a fantastic game, just like last year's SECCG.

I'm excited for this game. I love going to games, obviously, but I love spending all day drinking and watching multiple games, and this is basically the last weekend to do so.

Florida's a great team, but Bama has too much offensive balance, and that defense is pissed after seeing some of the things Auburn did to them. I also don't think UF's needed as much intensity or focus to go 12-0 compared to the Tide.

Roll Tide!

Maybe I'm focused too much on last year and the iron bowl, but I'll be surprised if Bama keeps it within 10 let alone wins.

Gators 31 Tide 16

Any word on Dunlap? Has he been suspended for the game? I hadn't seen anything official come out of the Florida camp.

I agree, I don't think this years Alabama is nearly as good as last years, while I think Florida is pretty close.

Yeah on Tuesday he was suspended indefinitely.

For those not in the know, Dunlap was the defensive player of the title game last year, and last week was #3 overall on Mel Kiper's NFL draft board, and this week plunged to #17.

Dunlap is a freak and is projected to be a top 15 pick in next years draft if he comes out. Huge blow for the Gators.

I am pulling for Florida since I would rather see a Florida-Texas matchup for the national title.

Texas vs. Florida. I hope they find that old dude that McCoy saved from drowning a couple years ago and bring him to the game. Then it can be a showdown of savior QBs.

Tim "greatest person to ever live" Tebow vs. Colt "I save people from drowning, am friends with Sam Bradford and have a really Texasy sounding first name" McCoy.

McCoy has the better nickname.

Don't forget that McCoy can't stand Tebow. He has that going for him.

Is this true? I had not heard this story/rumor.

I can't find the link, but I seem to recall some news last year about Bradford and McCoy hitting it off and agreeing that both of them dislike Tebow.

Alabama is much better than they were last year, and UF is slightly worse. McElroy is a much better passer than John-Parker Wilson, the offense is a lot more balanced (not just in terms of run/pass, but guys who can make a play running/catching the ball), and the corners are infinitely better.

UF, on the other hand, isn't nearly as effective on offense, and while their secondary is good, they haven't improved from last year.
