If I thought the Fighting Chickens were a piss poor representation of the SEC, I am not sure what the kitty cats are doing in this game.  They are getting 2.5, and it pains me to pick against them, but the Rum Runners are the pick.  Still going to pull for a Kentucky upset.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Allstate Sugar Bowl:<\/em><\/strong> #6 Utah (12-0, 8-0 MWC) vs. #4 Alabama (12-1, 8-0 SEC).  I think the Tide will win, just not by 9.  So in the spirit of picking against the spread, Utah is the pick.<\/p>\n<p>I have a feeling that I may be going 0-3 today, but who cares?
