ATLANTA - The coaches are saying all the right things heading into today's 25th annual SEC championship game at 3 p.m. CT between unbeaten No. 1 Alabama and No. 15 three-loss Florida here in the Georgia Dome.
"We certainly have a lot of respect for our opponent, and we certainly know it's going to be a hard fought game, and our players are going to have to be at their very best to be able to have a chance to be successful in this particular game," said Alabama coach Nick Saban, who has a chance to win his seventh SEC title which would put him second in league history behind Bear Bryant's 14 championships.
