Episode 090: Previewing the Game of the Century

Michael Felder of In the Bleachers and Crystal Ball Run previews Alabama vs. LSU

Will this game live up to the hype? If recent history is any indication, the answer is “Yup.”

Alabama and LSU will meet in prime-time in the game of the regular season Saturday night, with the two SEC West powers not only looking to take a lead in the SEC West battle but also position themselves nicely for a BCS Championship run.

You want defenses? This game will have two of the best.

You want some of the top college football coaches scheming against each other? You will be hard-pressed to find a better match-up than Nick Saban vs. Les Miles.

Alabama and LSU represent all that a match-up of top two teams deserves to be, but the question is whether or not this game can possibly live up to the hype it is receiving, with a countdown on ESPN and full-fledged coverage form every media outlet there is. Again, the answer is “Yup.”

Michael Felder form In the Bleachers and one of my co-contributors at Crystal Ball Run took some time aside Wednesday to chat about this game and the impact it will likely have on the BCS picture when the game is over. We avoid making our picks here because we picked the game on Felder’s Slate of Eight podcast, so go and be sure to listen to that as well.

I’ll have plenty more on this game later today and this week here and on Examiner.com.
