Well, you can't say they didn't plan it this way

I don't have a whole lot against Alabama. Sure, I'm not the biggest Nick Saban fan, but as I root primarily for UCLA in all sports college, I don't usually come into conflict with the Tide in athletic events. I do, however, find this particularly humorous:

Despite playing in the perennially loaded SEC, Alabama has played the 84th strongest schedule in the country. Utah is in the motherfucking Mountain West conference and they've played the 55th-strongest schedule. And it's not like Alabama saved all of its tough games for the end of the season; they close with two home games against Mississippi State (3-6) and Auburn (5-5) before basically being forced to play a tough team in the SEC title game in Florida.

My prediction for that game: Florida 69, Alabama 2 (Florida will score their 10th touchdown of the game with no time left on the clock in the fourth, and Alabama will block the extra point and bring it back for two as Nick Saban is jostled awake on the sidelines). Enjoy the national championship game Gators!
