When did every game but one for this weekend get cancelled? With the attention usually reserved for the Super Bowl, this Saturday night's LSU-Alabama clash has become as hyped as any game in recent memory. But the hype for the Super Bowl, while often annoying, is reasonable for the championship game of the most popular sport in the country. This one is for first place in the SEC West. Sure the top ranking is on the line, but remember, games of the century usually only remain so if one of the combatants wins the national title. Remember the big game of the 2006 season? It was Ohio State versus Michigan and that game has lost a lot of its legs with OSU eventually losing the BCS Title Game and Michigan's program going into the tank soon after.
Don't get me wrong. I want this game to be a classic. But talk does not make the game one. After all, look at most every Super Bowl bore.
I make a prediction tomorrow morning.
