In the latest results of the Discover Fan Loyalty Poll, college football fans across America felt as if the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and Alabama Crimson Tide were not only the best two teams in the country, but also that they had the best chance of any two teams of winning this season’s BCS Championship.

They can thank some awful clock mismanagement by Bulldogs’ head coach Mark Richt and star quarterback Aaron Murray, but that is neither here nor there. Alabama beat Georgia and will face Notre Dame for the BCS Championship, as the two will finish the season No. 1 and No. 2 in the BCS Standings that will be revealed later tonight, proceeded by all 35 bowl game selections. I will preview the projected BCS Bowl...

Nothing has to be worse than throwing a horrific interception directly to Ha’Sean Clinton-Dixon and then getting absolutely leveled by a massive Alabama defensive tackle. This hit was definitely helmet to helmet, but it wasn’t as much of a blindside hit as you might think. If you look closely, Murray sees Dial at the very last second, but unfortunately for him it was too...
