Deja Wrong

Alabama fans, you're welcome. I've been wrong on so many picks this year, it ain't even funny. So, why should the SEC Championship be any different? I still can't believe the way UF got manhandled, but who cares? Bowl season will soon be upon us. At this point, it ain't exactly breaking news, but Saban's Tide will face off against Colt McCoy and the Texas Longhorns to decide a National Champion.

Well, what happens if a Brian Kelly-less Bearcats squad gets dismantled by Tebow and the eye gougers from Gainesville? Does the Fiesta Bowl winner stake claim to one half of the National Championship? Based on their rankings (#4 TCU and #6 Boise State), I'd guess that the undefeated Horned Frogs would have the strongest argument. But, TCU would need to route the loss-less Broncos, in order to breed such a discussion.

If this scenario unfolds, it may add some fodder to the "we need a playoff system" debate, but let's be honest. There will be no split National Championship like we saw in 1990, when G Tech and Colorado both claimed the title. Why? Because 1 program will be crowned king of college football and it will be Texas or (drum roll...not really needed) Alabama. Tide fans, you outta be concerned. I'm picking ya'll to beat Texas by 10.

The National Champion will be crowned where? Click on the title of this post.

And remember...Go Dawgs, ya'll!

P.S. How's the 6-1-9 DC? Hope you're havin' a blast out there, dude.

I should have also asked, what happens if the Bearcats beat UF? Would undefeated Cincinatti have a claim to the championship? Or does strength of schedule eliminate them from the discussion?

I recommend a final four scenario. #1 vs #4. Winner faces the victor of #2 vs #3 matchup. The last team standing is the undisputed champion. What do ya'll think?
