This is a great point that I'm not sure I would have considered otherwise, and that most people are overlooking in their rush to deem Alabama-Florida the winner-take-all primer for the mythical championship. That's certainly true for Alabama if it finishes 13-0, and I assume it's true for Florida in the human polls if the Gators take the mighty SEC at 12-1. But the computers? That's not so certain.

Sorry to give you a heart attack
Bounced around the interwebs to get to that post, and hadn’t had a chance to go through my RSS, so I didn’t see the later post.
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
Trust me, I've been freaking out for a while.
