Submit Your Questions for "Hey Todd!"

Tonight at 8pm CST over at TalkShoe, where we'll discuss the impending and surely epic battle between the brutal fury of Nick Saban and the Tide defense and the cold, mechanical efficiency of the Florida offense, otherwise known as the SEC Championship Game. Join us, won't you?

IF WE LOSE, YOU LOSE: THE SECCG BET

I challenged Orson to a SECCG wager a few weeks ago, and it has now snowballed into a no win scenario. As if you needed more incentive to pull for the Tide come Saturday, the idea of suffering through my tender, introspective rendition of "Higher" should be enough to have every reader of this blog with functioning ears to pull harder than they have all season.

Programming Note: Real Life, etc.

Two things:

1) The RBR Radio Hour(ish) is postponed 'til Thursday because of real life interruptions (the UAB Basketball Home Opener for me, and fighting crime for OTS).  Adjust your schedule accordingly.

2) We're moving it over to TalkShoe because NowLive? She no worka so good.  So head over there between now and then and set up an account so we'll know who you are in the chat.

3) For no apparent reason:

1. Alabama - vs Auburn - W 36-0

2. Boise State - vs Fresno State - W 61-10

3.Utah - idle

I will obstinately cling to my lunatic fringe status by keeping Utah and Boise State ranked ahead of Florida et al, but I am shifting Boise ahead of the Utes since, even though their 1A opponents have a combined 63-69 record, Boise has bested 8 bowl (eligible) teams while Utah has only beaten 5.  And for the record, everyone else below them (save Ball State, whom I decided to move into the top ten anyway for beating a relatively solid Western Michigan team to stay undefeated) has a loss despite playing "the best football in the country," and when it comes to this poll, right or wrong, that's the first thing I'm going to look at, "quality wins" be damned.

4. Florida - at FSU - W 45-15

5. Oklahoma - at Oklahoma State - W 61-41
