Alabama Looking Good

Alabama dispatched Florida with relative ease. I wasn’t nearly as surprised by this as some of the on-air people seemed to be. When the head coach says his team isn’t very good, which is what Urban Meyer said back in August, you need to listen. Florida hadn’t beaten anyone of note this year, while ‘Bama has pretty much slaughtered all takers so far. Add this to the more mundane fact that ‘Bama has a lot of returners from a national championship team and Florida doesn’t and the math seemed pretty simple. The Tide still has Auburn, Arkansas and LSU to go through so their road is anything but simple. I’d still consider them the odds-on favorites for each of those, barring injuries.

In other news, Penn St loses again to Iowa; Michigan is undefeated; Virginia goes down to FSU; the Sooners beat the ‘Horns to remain undefeated and Boise St. rolled. Also, Dartmouth lost by a whisker to Penn- in overtime. Not bad considering the results from the past couple years. They’re 2-1 now, but the one is a league loss. Bummer.

Overall, I get the sense that the SEC is the conference to beat. Again.
