Why Alabama shouldn't overlook Florida

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Nick Saban was upset on Monday.

But, hey, what else is new? He’s been scolding the media for a long time now.

In what’s become a familiar refrain for those who regularly sit in on Saban’s news conferences, Alabama’s head coach grew agitated over what he perceived as a lack of respect his team’s next opponent.

However, what made this lecture different from the others is that this week’s opponent is Florida and this weekend’s game is for the SEC championship.

Who would overlook the 10-2 Gators, who are the Eastern Division champs?
