The long lay off has seemed to help the SEC. The SEC has a championship games, so they have a extra week of experience and play before the National Championship game. It will be interesting.

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?
