Conference Title Saturday

Florida -10 Alabama - The Crimson Tide are getting no respect here for a multitude of reasons. The biggest deal, though...is that the SEC has a lot of good teams but not very many great ones. Alabama has managed to navigate through the conference without losing, but they've seldom looked great. The computers tell a big story here, of Sagarin's top 50, the only teams that played a significantly easier schedule than the Tide were Boise State, Ball State, and Tulsa. Nowhere to hide today, as they battle a motivated Florida team that needs to not only win...but do it convincingly enough to pass Texas in the BCS. Gators roll.

Oklahoma / Missouri UNDER 79 - Explosive offenses, poor pass defenses. Missouri is #116 nationally against the pass AND they didn't have to play Tech or Oklahoma during the regular season. So, why take the UNDER...it'll be cold, the field is in terrible shape, and in championship type games...79 is a ton of points.

Virginia Tech PK Boston College - Virginia Tech has a little more experience at the skill positions and should play well today to try to snag the ACC's prized spot getting annually humiliated in the Orange Bowl. Should be a good one.
