Alabama Wins 37-21

Just in case you haven’t heard, the Alabama Crimson Tide won the Citi BCS National Championship game last night by beating Texas 37-21. I don’t know about you, but I think Nick Saban might have something to do with the team’s success. :-) During his first season (2007-08) the team had a regular season record of 6-6. During the 2008-09 regular season, the team finished 12-0. This season, not only did the team go undefeated during the regular season, they won the SEC Championship and the BCS National Championship. To take a team from 6-6 to national champions in three seasons is an amazing feat. Roll Tide! Not only that, the SEC has won the last FOUR national championships: Florida (2006-07), LSU (2007-08), Florida (2008-09), and Alabama (2009-10).

I wish Colt McCoy could have played the entire game last night because the sportswriters are already saying that Alabama's win has an asterisk. Well, football is a contact sport and injuries are a part of the game. No one would have given Alabama any sympathy if Mark Ingram had been unable to play. Alabama beat both of the teams who won the last THREE national championships. Don't they deserve credit for being a good team? I certainly wish Colt well in his recovery, but it was a clean hit. He said after the game that he's taken several hits just like it.
