SEC Title Game.

This Saturday, the Alabama Crimson Tide will face the Georgia Bulldogs in the South East Conference (SEC) Championship. Both teams worked extremely hard to just get to this game, but this game will not be the winners last. The winner of the SEC Championship game will face the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the BCS National Championship. Georgia played hard to get the chance to play in the National Championship, but Alabama's story is a little more interesting. About a month ago, Alabama was ranked number 1 in the rankings and was looking forward to going to the National Championship. The rest of their opponents were easy, except Texas A&M. Everyone knew it was going to be a tough game, but we thought we would win the game easy. As time showed, that was not the case. Texas A&M beat Alabama in a good game. Alabama fell to number 4 in the standings. Most fans had lost all hope in playing in another National Championship. The championship game is played between the number 1 and number 2 teams in the nation. This means that Alabama had to be at least number 2 before the end of the season. Everyone, including myself, counted Alabama out of the picture. The weeks went on and Alabama kept winning, but so did teams 1-3. As long as they won, Alabama would not play in the big game. If Alabama wanted any chance, they needed 2 of the top 3 teams to loose. It was a slim to none chance, but miracles do happen. One Saturday night, 3 weeks ago, that miracle would happen. The number 2 team in the nation, Kansas State, lost horribly to Baylor. I was ecstatic! But we still needed the number 3 team to loose. That same night Oregon played Stanford. The game was all ties at the end of regulation. Overtime would decide the winner. Stanford had one field goal to win the game and knock off the number 3 team in the nation. The kick went up and through the uprights! Amazingly the number 2 and 3 teams went down all in the same night! That moved Alabama into number 2 and a spot in the National Championship game, if they beat Georgia this Saturday. An amazing season so far, but it will all mean nothing unless they win this weekend.
