What if Alabama Wins?

Alabama is undefeated. They can easily win this game. What happens to the Florida Gators if they win? It would be a devastating blow. Not only would the Gators win absolutely nothing, no SEC Championship, no National Championship, no anything, it could very well also cost Tim Tebow his second Heisman Trophy.
Think about what is riding on this game tomorrow… a Gator win and they will play for a second straight national championship, the school’s first perfect season, and possibly Tim Tebow’s second Heisman Trophy. So there’s a little bit to play for tomorrow, yes?
A loss in a game of this magnitude would have a devastating affect on Tebow’s legacy.
Year’s from now Tebow will be a legend either way, but a win in this game and he’s Babe Ruth. A loss and he’s probably, I don’t know, Ted Williams? There’s nothing wrong with being Teddy Ballgame, unless you’re the Bambino.
Plus the Gators get the added bonus if they win of playing Texas for the National Title provided they can beat #22 Nebraska on Saturday. I don’t know if you’re paying attention but UT is ranked #2 in basketball right now. A win in Pasadena and the ‘Horns give themselves an excellent shot at winning the football basketball double that the Gators pulled off a few years ago. Florida is the only school in history to do that. It would be nice if it took a while for the next school to do it.
So let’s see what we have riding on this game:
- The SEC Championship
- The BCS Championship
- an undefeated season
- back to back SEC Titles
- back to back BCS Titles
- a chance to protect the ’06 Gators record
- Tim Tebow becoming the first two time Heisman winning QB.
- A third BCS Title in four years.
Yeah that’s it. So what happens if Alabama wins? Somebody will have to come talk me off the ledge. That’s what.

I think Florida will win it. But I wouldn’t bet the farm on it. It’s going to be a tough one. I may need CPR around the 3rd quarter.
