Just over 24 hours. Chris Fowler is imagining the scene in the Georgia Super Dome:
I am closing my eyes and picturing the scene inside the Georgia Dome at 4 ET Saturday afternoon.
There's the clash of colors -- a lot of orange and blue, even more crimson -- and the steady, building buzz. There's the very palpable sense that something special is about to happen. Then it's all punctuated by the deafening roar when No. 4 Florida and No. 1 Alabama hit the field.
The thrill of that big-game buzz just before the opening kickoff collisions begin is a huge reason we are college football fans.
Fowler doubts the game itself can live up to the hype and he's probably right:
Will the game equal the hype? Probably not. After all, this one is
pretty far off the charts: a de facto national title semifinal and the SEC championship. Just the latter would be enough to have the Dome vibrating at high frequency.
Not a whole lot of folks - outside of Alabama - are giving the Number 1 Crimson Tide a chance in the game. That will just make the victory so much sweeter...
Later Gators! Roll Tide!

It's good to be king! The SEC has nothing to prove, all the nanoital championship hardware does all the talking sitting in SEC trophy cases. Remember the saying to be the man, you gotta beat the man ? Why should we go north first? We have the hardware and nothing to prove so come south first and THEN you get a return game. When your on top YOU get to call the shot's in this world and right now the SEC IS ON TOP!
