Bama did not play in the SEC Championship game last year, and they beat the SEC team that did. LSU fans would say that Bama had the advantage. An extra game means an extra bit of wear and tear on the bodies of student athletes. Bama’s Center has yet to practice for the BCS Championship game due to injury sustained during the SEC Championship game. Will he play? If he doesn’t, will the freshman backup be able to step in and fill that hole?

No, I understand. But in years past, people have wondered that because the SEC had a 'extra' game they were more prepared.

Dunno, perhaps that was only against Ohio State and Oregon.
