Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer, You Won It, Alabama

Alex FergusonDec 5, 2009

Congratulations, Alabama.

After beating Florida 32-13 in the 'Game For the Ages' for 2009—The SEC Championship—the University of Alabama is going to the National Title game.

Quite simply, Tim Tebow & Co. simply couldn't deal with a smothering Crimson Tide defense.

Alabama put on a clinic.

The Gators and their rather lovely cheerleaders (hey, at least they won one match-up this weekend!) weren't just hurt by the injury to special teams speedster Brandon James or the idiotic decision by Carlos Dunlap to go drunk-driving that cost him a SEC Championship Game, but they were hurt by a running back called Mark Ingram, who absolutely owned the Gators today.

Ingram's attacking running and low center of gravity—backed up by an incredible offensive line performance which negated Brandon Spikes and a talented Gator 'D'—was impossible to stop today as he got behind the towering offense line and plunged through the middle.

Listen, we knew that Florida had their faults after they struggled against Tennessee, Mississippi State, and South Carolina. They shouldn't have been No. 1 after the first game of the season, when Alabama impressively rocked Virginia Tech's world while the rest of college football (apart from Boise and Oklahoma State), beat nobodies to start the year. But we didn't think that Alabama would beat the pants off them in the way that they did.

We'd like to say: We were wrong for doubting you, Alabama.

Texas—or whoever they play in the title game—is going to be in for a world of pain facing Ingram or Roy Upchurch in the trenches. Greg McElroy, the Alabama quarterback, didn't seem fussed, while Tim Tebow—or 'Superman' (as CBS' Verne Lundquist would love to call him)—showed that he was going to fall while trying to fly to his third National Championship if four years. His interception at the end of the game summed up his day: one big letdown.

And just one more quick—and exceptionally important—point: A guy from Florida also lost to a girl in the SEC Championship Game Dr Pepper Scholarship Giveaway, where the aim is to throw as many balls into a can in a period of 45 seconds. To you, Sarah Beth Hill, $123,000 towards medical school. To you, Daniel X from Florida Atlantic University, you lose your man card. You'll now be called Florence.
