Alabama's Trevor Releford Beat The Georgia Bulldogs On A Nice Little Floater From Beyond Half-Court

Alabama Barely Beats Georgia For SEC Title, Right To Demolish Irish In National Title Game
Your national title game will be SEC semifinal champion Alabama against Notre Dame, which in a just alternate universe just got piss-pounded by Ohio State in the Big Ten title game and ceded its title game slot to Florida. In this universe, though, Notre Dame spent the afternoon licking its chops as...

Losses By Oregon, Kansas State Ensure All-SEC Title Game
