Fellow Blogger Clay Travis put it best, the SEC is as sure fire an investment as anything over the past two decades. If you bet on the SEC in the Title Game you make money.

As of right now Alabama is favored by just 4 points over the Texas Longhorns. If I was a gambling man this would seem like a steal to me. Mack Brown's coaching "genius" is built strictly on Vince Young's superiority and the state of Texas' ability to crank out 5 star athlete after 5 star athlete. Meanwhile Nick Saban is probably the best overall coach in College Football. He has won everywhere he has been. He has morphed teams from meh to top of the heap.

Furthermore, for all of Florida's lack of playing anyone this season, it was evident in the Sugar Bowl that they still are in fact a juggernaut. They are a juggernaut that was thoroughly dominated by Bama. Meanwhile, who exactly has Texas shown their worth against? The Big 12 was meh this season. Okie St. and Oklahoma were without their best players. The Longhorns OOC was in general a joke. Their undefeated season is no more credible than was Cincinnati's.

To be blunt, Bama should win this game comfortably and the four points you lay on Bama will not put a single bead of sweat on your forehead.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...

Numbers On Steroids: Mickey Mantle

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. This week it's throwing a curve ball and looking at All Time Great Yankees. Players that we know did not take steroids to see if this gives a defense to any of the players 'convicted' by Numbers on Steroids. Time to look at my dad's favorite athlete of all time, Mickey Mantle. Averages Say: What's with the mysterious dip at 27 and then the uptick? At Bats Per Home Run Says: That's a mighty jump from 22 to 24 Explaining As If It Was the 90s If you take a look at the numbers there are two time frames which in the 1990s would be questioned. First would be the incredible leap he took from his first year in the big leagues to his first MVP season in 1956. His batting average jumped 50 points. His slugging percentage jumped 90 points and he hit 15 more homers than his previous high. This wouldn't merrit a conviction nowadays though because the young age he...
