Ray Melick of the Birmingham News writes that not even Tim Tebow can make it cool to do the right thing: ” Last Sunday night, preparing to do ‘The Zone’ on ABC 33/40 with Mike Raita and guest co-host Charles Barkley, Raita asked the question, ‘Has Tim Tebow made it cool to do the right thing?’ Barkley quickly answered, ‘No. First of all, there’s a lot of guys doing the right thing. But it’s a lot easier to follow the bad guy.’”
Geoff Calkins of the Memphis Commercial Appeal writes that there is a playoff feel at the Georgia Dome: “Florida is fabulous. Alabama is fabulous. They’ll meet Saturday at the Georgia Dome, and the country will be riveted, and what a shame we can’t have games like this every year. Or, that we choose not to. That’s a better way to put it. We could have games like this every year if college football had a real playoff.”
Pat Dooley of the Gainesville Sun says title game is tough to pick: “I have said all along this is a coin-flip game, two teams that are very similar even if they go about doing things in different ways.
