Conference Championship
weekend is finally here. This year I’m
sitting on pins and needles fretting over whether my beloved Crimson Tide will
make it into the CFB Playoffs.
Oddsmakers, sports
pundits, pollsters and navel gazers be damned.
After today the Selection Committee has the steering wheel. One thing’s for certain: The Top Four will consist of the SEC
Championship game winner and the winner of the ACC Championship game along with
either the Buckeyes or Bama.
I have loathed Ohio State
ever since Head Coach Woody Hayes punched Clemson’s Charlie Bauman in the 1978
Gator Bowl after he intercepted a pass from Art Schlichter. I want Bama to go to the playoffs so bad I
can taste it and am more than willing to root for them against the Badgers. I feel dirty, like a politician. If Wisconsin wins, its curtains for both Bama
and the Buckeyes. Please, oh, please don’t
let that happen.
They say I must summon
the football gods’ favor for the game between TCU and the Sooners. I can’t stand the hot-headed, crotch-grabbing,
bird-flipping Baker Mayfield. I have no
problem pulling for the Horned Frogs to knock Oklahoma out of the Top Four.
The game between the
Clemson Tigers and the Canes of Miami won’t budge the standings, but a win by
the Tigers assures there won’t be two ACC teams getting in.
Finally, the game between
the Bulldawgs of Jawja and the (expletive) godforsaken (expletive) flea-bitten
Auburn (expletive) Tigers for the SEC Championship. I’ve been doing the Vulcan Mind Meld with
Coach Smart. I want Kirby to pluck War
Eagle bald. Auburn is the first two-loss
team to be ranked in the Top Four. What
a (expletive) travesty!
Auburn, according to
ESPN’s Matchup Predictor, has a 50.5% chance of victory against the Dawgs.
The experts who, by the
way, hate Alabama claim if Auburn wins Nick Saban’s boys from Tuscaloosa could
brag its only loss was to the SEC Champs.
Aw, hell no. That ain’t good enough
bubba. Kirby was Saban’s defensive coach
for ten years. He knows defense I tell
ya and the Dawgs will be out to maul Jarret Stidham and avenge their 40-17 loss
to the Tigers at Jordan-Haire stadium.
