If you think there’s any school in the conference that gets more coverage than Alabama, you’re absolutely insane.

Here’s the latest on the Tide, in no particular order:

Offensively, the SEC Championship Game in the Georgia Dome will be Alabama’s “chug” versus Florida’s “zoom.”

Look at Alabama’s roster and you’ll have an even greater appreciation for what Nick Saban has accomplished this year.

Bama is pretty healthy heading into Saturday’s showdown.  Florida is not… they’ll be without defensive linemen Brandon Antwine and Matt Patchan.

No one expected Alabama’s offense to be as good as it has been this season.

Florida’s offense has been almost unstoppable in the red zone.

The Gators’ playmakers will test the Tide like no other team UA has faced this year.

How is it possible to be undefeated, top-ranked AND underrated?

CBS’ Verne Lundquist and Gary Danielson aren’t surprised to see Florida favored.  “This is basically Frazier versus Ali,” said Danielson.  “This is ugly versus pretty.  This is new versus old, spread-out versus tight.”

Florida corner Janoris Jenkins and Alabama receiver Julio Jones went against each other 11 months ago in a high school all-star game.

Where would the Alabama program be right now if Mike Shula had signed Tim Tebow?

This summer, a lot of folks laughed (myself included) at Saban’s “power of positive thinking” seminars and new age babble.  No one’s laughing now.

Speed versus size: Florida’s running backs versus Alabama’s Terrence Cody.

Linebacker Rolando McClain isn’t worried about awards, he’s worried about Florida.
