SEC Championship Game - Alabama Crimson Tide vs Florida Gators - Who will win?

Settled as Florida

GATORS WIN 31-20

Background:

Background: The SEC Championship Game will be played on December 6 in the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Georgia to determine the 2008 football champion of the Southeastern Conference (SEC). This game features the AP #1 (Alabama) and #2 (Florida) teams in the country, as well as Heisman Trophy Candidate, Tim Tebow.

Seven winners of the SEC Championship game have gone on to play for the national title, and it appears as if that will be the case again this year.

Who will win, the SEC East representative Florida Gators, or the Alabama Crimson Tide out of the SEC West?

This 2008 Bama team resembles the 1992 Bama National Championship team. They play well enough to win. In 1992 Bama beat Florida 2 times in one year!!!

Apparently Alabama is so good that their players aren't even practicing. Rather, they all decided to sign up on hubdub and wager on this question. :)

Yes, we are checking in to this.

@dieseldog and others, who may wonder about this....

Here's what the rules say:

2.2.11 Gaming
Gaming of the system is explicitly not allowed. Gaming includes:
• Creation of multiple accounts
• Creation of questions with deliberately inaccurate price estimates
• Use of multiple accounts to transfer Hubdub dollars from one to the other
However we cannot provide an exhaustive list of what is considered gaming. As a guide, if you believe the wider Hubdub community would consider an activity as gaming then it probably is.
In the event that user is considered to be gaming he/she then the procedure is as follows:
• 1st offence: Email warning
• 2nd offence: Fined 50% of net worth and publicly named for 2 weeks
• 3rd offence: Account deactivated
If the first offence is considered particularly blatant then we may move to the fine or deactivation.

what i was wondering if it was a member who has been around for awhile. at first i thought naming them would shame them into not doing it again. then i thought about sakayti and it didn't stop him. if a person would cheat for free fake money imagine what they might do for real money. like dragonfang...i think obama has bought him off. :O)
