Saw this stat on Reddit. The Gators were 18 point favorites over Tennessee in the Swamp in 2001 and they ended up losing that game. Actually, a point spread of 14+ points between two top 6 teams has happened four times in the last 25 years. In two of those games, the heavy favorite ended up losing (1994 Florida to Auburn and 2001 Florida to Tennessee). In the other two games, the heavy favorite ended up winning by a very narrow margin (1994 Florida State vs. Nebraska and 1996 Nebraska vs. Colorado).

I'm hoping this pattern continues.

So you're saying there's a chance?

Bama players have got to keep themselves from getting big heads.
May be tough if they believe this point spread.

What was the line in the 2006 BCS title game where everyone outside of the South thought we'd get worked?

True. And shortly thereafter, LSU ruined UT's athletic department.
