As much as I hate to say it, the REAL D-I National Champions are the Villanova Wildcats. This game is meaningless.

i've seen Texas look very pedestrian in three sloppily played victories this season, can't say I've seen Alarbamer look as bad.
Alarbamer by two TDs and another MNC in their trophy room.

I think Bama wins, but they've had a few slow starts. I just don't think McCoy will have the time to hurt em if they start slow.

Food for thought:
#2 has beaten #1 4 straight times in the BCS Championship Game
Alabama is #1. Texas is #2.

Food for thought:
The Heisman Trophy Winner has lost 7 of the last 8 times he's been in the BCS championship game.
Alabama's Mark Ingram won the Heisman this year.

Food for thought:
The Big-12 is 2-4 in BCS title games. One of those victories belongs to Texas (2005, vs USC).
The SEC is 3-0 in the last three years in BCS title games. None of those victories belongs to Alabama.

Based on AZ's astute observations, I'll take 'bama by 14.

FIFY

Bama's humbling of Florida impressed me. Texas's near-loss to Nebraska did not. Pick: Bama by 8.

McCoy sure picked the best time in his career to get hurt no? So now you depend on a QB that nobody even knew existed

I hope he's OK, but that hit probably cost him millions of dollars and dropped him several places on draft day.

I know. They said it is likely a sprain. You just have to try and understand how much TXST hates UT.

That was a pretty shore shit PI call on Texas considering what Bama got away with on the last possession.

Oh...and Fat Fuck Cody got away with a false start on Bama's first touch down.

However, there's nothing I hate more than shitty officiating. That SJ had to be blind, stupid or biased to not see at least one of those interferences on AL.

Shippley just went from 1 catch for 5 yards in the first half to 9 catches for 117 yards and 2 TDs in the second half.
At one point under a minute left in the 3rd Bama had three total yards of offense for the half. I think they have more yards off of penalties than offense thus far in the half.
