After a very long season it all comes down to this one game for the National Championship. The arguments are over with and it is time to settle it on the field. The #1 team in the country and the SEC Champion will face off against the #2 team in the country and the Big 12 Champion. A breakdown of these teams will help to decide who will be the National Champion!

Alabama is the undisputed #1 team in the country. They played in the hardest conference in the country and avoided all close calls to remain undefeated. They played a tough and talented team in the SEC Championship in the Florida Gators and they crushed them. They arguably have the best defense in the country and have the Heisman winner in Mark Ingram. They just need one more win to bring home the biggest trophy of them all.

In order to win they have to beat the Texas Longhorns. The Longhorns won the Big 12 Championship in a close contest against Nebraska. They were up to any challenge the season offered them and they have one of the bet quarterbacks in the country in Colt McCoy. A win in this game will quiet all of the critics.

The reason that Alabama crushed Florida is because they controlled the line of scrimmage and therefore they could run the ball. Texas will not allow that to happen and many people don’t realize they are #1 in the country against the run. The Horns have a chip on their shoulder and are not getting any respect with everyone already calling Alabama Champs. The Tide does not travel well and historically when #1 plays #2 the #2 team wins more than naught. Texas has the edge at QB and will win this game and it will be close throughout. The Longhorns are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 neutral site games and 20-8-1 ATS in their last 29 games as an underdog. Take the Horns plus the points in the big game!

BCS Championship Pick: Texas +5
