Analysts having been saying FL will beat Alabama for a while now...?

then all of sudden a week and a half before they play Alabama its, ABANDON SHIP! Alabama is going to win now!

Is this just to piss Florida fans off? I think I've read one article that says FL is still going to the NC. What's the reason in all of sudden changing their mind?

Secondly give me a break down of the game, players and positions. Where does FL have the advantage?
Where does Bama have the advantage?

Lines?
Secondary?
QB?
Backs?
Recievers?

I've already heard over and over, that Alabama matches up well across the board. WHO matches up well!?!?!?!?!?!?

Alabama is strong up front and have quick DB's BUT the linbackers are going to be the determinig factor, If UF's front 5 can give Tebow lots of time he may be able to pick the middle apart, If the fort 4 for UF don't contain then Tebow will be dangerous on the ground. Look for UF to make consistant 6-8 yard gains per play, the tightends and runing backs will be dominant for UF. Look for UA to control the clock, the UF's front 4 have been somewhat week against the run making their Linbackers the determining factor on their defense.

Should be a really good game.

UF 38 - UA 33

The reason for the change is that Percy Harvin hasn't practiced all week and will probably be ineffective.

Alabama matches up well with Florida across the board.

Alabama can control the clock and keep Florida's prolific offense off the field.

Florida is still a 10 point favorite according to usa today.

-QB- Florida. JP Wilson is good, but you can't compete with Tebow (175.5 QB rating!)
-RB- Alabama. Glen Coffee has 1235 yards and nine TDs.
-WR- Alabama. Julio Jones has 723 yards with 4 TDs.
-Kicking- Florida. Jonathan Phillips is 100% for XP and FG.
-Rush Defence- Alabama. 73.6 per game.
-Pass Defense- Even. Rashad Johnson of Alabam, though has five interception (2 returned for TDs)
-Penelties- Alabama. Alabama has only 48 (#113 most) compared to Florida's 88 (#15 most).

I guess I haven't been watching enough TV/reading enough sports news, because I haven't heard this shift yet. Who's calling Bama to win?

I just can't imagine it happening. Florida is a much better team...I'm surprised Bama has been able to hang on to #1 for this long.
