I am still not digging your lack of confidence in Bama's ability to beat Florida. Frankly, I didn't get past that part of your write-up...

??? Where did Jess show a lack of confidence in Bama beating Florida? He said that UF would be favored in the SECCG. That is a fact, but it says nothing about Jess's idea about who will win the game.

This article is covering ALL bowl possibilities. If you had read further, you would see that he covers the scenario of Auburn beating Alabama. Do you really believe that Jess is picking us to lose the Iron Bowl? It's all hypothetical. If you want his prognostications, read the preview articles.

No one ever accuses Jess of being an overly optimistic homer.

He has Florida picked to be in the BCSCG (see his "Most likely destination"). He says that Bama has a shot, but he picks Florida to be in the game. I don't fault him for calling it like he sees it, but I would prefer that he see it my way.

Bama beats Florida and Texas for #13...

Kentucky seems to be missing.

Was just about to say the same thing. One of the SEC teams needs to go to the Papajohns.com bowl prease.

I heard a prognosticator on Finebaum stating that if a line were to be made today that Florida would be a 4 point favorite.

I got it, it is clear as mud.

Sorry about that...don't know why it didn't post with the others. It's there now.

Now would be a good time to remind everyone that who I pick in games doesn't determine who actually ends up winning them.

Great write up, Jess. I wanted to see who you had coming to the Outback Bowl, since we always (through my wife) get free box tickets for that game every year. I would love to see Iowa come back - great coach (very friendly, nothing like SOS), great team and fans. They are all very classy (met Coach Ferentz and his staff last year) and their fans are SEC caliber when it comes to knowledge of the game. We cheered for Iowa last year over South Carolina and will again this year, if it is Georgia coming to town.
