It was the Tide’s year..plain and simple. I don’t see anybody beating Bama this year, except perhaps Penn State in an upset, or maybe Ole Miss at Homecoming. They get the Gators at home, and will soundly smack them once again. The last time the Gators ventured into T’town, it was Meyer’s first year, and they got hammered 31-3….look for it to be worse this time….

Controversial? Alabama is the controversial champion for two reasons. One, the BCS makes everything controversial. Two, without their best player Texas still almost beat the Tide. It should have been painfully obvious to Alabama fans in the first 5 minutes that Texas was owning them with McCoy in the game.

Then with a true freshman who never played before they still almost win the game? Give me a break, Texas was the better team but caught a bad break by losing their best player. Longhorns by 10 if McCoy had stayed in the game.

Hence the controversy. Alabama won, but were they the best team in the land? To every non-biased fan in the country, Alabama was not the best team. Had McCoy played I guarantee you there would have been a different outcome, no doubt about it.
