This past weekend was amazing to witness. I watched the first half of the Alabama/Georgia game and came away with one conclusion: Nick Saban is a college football genius. That is a prepared football team that comes ready to play. They have already upset Clemson and threw them into a tailspin and now they thump Georgia and let’s see what happens now. They were up 31-0 at halftime and played inspired defense against a team with a top 10 draft choice at QB and a first round choice at tailback in Moreno.

Florida lost. Tebow fumbled and as i watched the last highlight I wondered why he wasn’t standing under center on 4th down. Everyone in the world knew what the play was going to be and it failed horribly. All 22 people ended up in the pile. It was like watching a traffic jam car crash, slow and painful. I thought Florida was the team to beat this year but it goes to show you how tough the SEC is. Alabama will still have to play LSU, Auburn. It doesn’t get easier at all for any of them. While BYU keeps sliding up the rankings playing weak conference opponents, out of their control, teams from the SEC keep beating each other up and hurting their chances of a national title. Meanwhile BYU, UTAH, BOISE ST all keep creeping up the rankings and I’m not saying they shouldn’t but the system is so jacked up in college football it is crazy. When they finally decide on a playoff they are going to wonder how and why they did it this way for so many years.

I honestly believe that college football is a playoff away from being the greatest sport in the United States and I truly believe that. If they thought March Madness brought attention this would be unbelievable.
