BCS National Championship Tonight — Who Do You Think Will Win?

January 7, 2010

The No. 1 BCS-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide, the Southeastern Conference champions, and the No. 2 BCS-ranked Texas Longhorns, champions of the Big 12 Conference, will play in the Citi BCS National Championship Game at 7:38 tonight.

Who do you think will win? Submit your comments on the game below and show your team spirit!

bcsfront.jpgWith its win of the Southeastern Conference crown for the 22nd time, Alabama is going to a bowl for the sixth straight season. The Crimson Tide also enters the game with a perfect mark of 13-0 overall, 9-0 in conference. Alabama has been to the eighth most Rose Bowl Games in history (6), behind only: USC, Michigan, Washington, Ohio State, Stanford, UCLA and California; most of any team outside of the Big Ten and Pac-10.

Texas enters the BCS National Championship game after clinching the Big 12 Conference title for the third time (28 conference championships overall) and a record of 13-0 overall, 9-0 in conference. The Longhorns are bowl eligible for the 12th consecutive season and are one of two schools in the nation (Utah) that has won five straight bowl games. This streak includes three straight BCS games (2009 Fiesta Bowl, 2006 BCS National Championship, 2005 Rose Bowl).

alarelate.jpgTonight’s game marks Texas and Alabama’s eighth meeting in history; the last time was on January 1, 1982, in Dallas, Texas, at the Cotton Bowl where the Longhorns defeated the Crimson Tide, 14-12.

Pregame festivities for the 2010 Citi BCS National Championship Game begin at 7 p.m. and include musical performances by Josh Groban, Audra McDonald and the coin toss by legendary football announcer Keith Jackson. The game is televised nationally on ESPN on ABC with Brent Musburger, Kirk Herbstreit and Lisa Salters calling the action. Locally, the game airs on WEAR 3.

    I have watched a tape from Alabama Nick Saben football camp. High school elementary school boys. He talked about school work, staying off the street coners, smoking, and doing what your parents tell you to. I have much respect for the man. I hope Alabama wins. I am not a Auburn fan but we watched the game and were very excited when they won their last one.

  17. Dwayne on January 7th, 2010 3:42 pm

    The Tide is going to shut Texas down like they did Tebou.

  18. interesting on January 7th, 2010 3:34 pm

    gotta stay local if the Gators aren’t in it. There are more local kids at AL than at Texas I am sure…..

    Plus the wife is an AL fan and at least for this one time we can pull for the same team!

  42. Purell on January 7th, 2010 10:14 am

    I would not consider it “classless” not to root for someone you don’t like. It is called personal preference. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. Let’s face it, if you don’t like a team you should not have to root for them regardless.

  43. interested reader on January 7th, 2010 9:34 am

    LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL TIDE!

  44. Bob on January 7th, 2010 9:15 am

    Can’t believe this team is 2000 miles from here and there are people who can’t support them,. I’m not a football fan but I would never be so classless to not show my support. GO ALABAMA
