Here’s why Alabama will win the SEC Football Championship:
- Better Mascot. Alligators are slow and primitive. Gators become even more sluggish during bouts of Crimson (Red) Tide. One severe outbreak could wipe the species off the planet.
- Home Field Advantage. Tuscaloosa is closer to Atalanta than Gainesville.
- Coaches. “Pope” Urban Meyer vs. Nick Saban. Nick Saban is just a better football name in my opinion. Sounds rugged and warlike.
- Famous Alabamans: Jessie Owens, Lionel Hampton, Sun Ra, Bart Star, Jimmy Buffet, Rosa Parks, Coretta Scott King, and Jim (Gomer) Neighbors. Famous Floridians: Jed Bush.
- Tradition: Edge to ‘Bama. Steve Spurrier put Florida football on the map both as a player and coach, but his persona reminds me a little of Yosemite Sam. Hall of Famer Paul Bear Bryant former Alabama coach won 6 national championships with the Crimson Tide and is one of the winningest coaches of all time.
Prediction for the SEC Championship in Atlanta today: ALA 31 – FLA 24.
