It remains to be seen what No. 2 Alabama learned from its gut-check victory over Auburn Friday. Ditto for top-ranked Florida, which toyed with Florida State in its easy win Saturday.

Regardless, this much is certain: Expect the pair to be prepared and poised for Saturday’s 1-vs.-2 showdown for the SEC Championship. The Gators (12-0) are two wins from a third national championship in four years, while the Tide (12-0) last won a national title in 1992, when it beat UF in the inaugural SEC Championship game and Gino Torretta-led Miami in the Sugar Bowl.

“We’ve been looking forward to this day (SEC Championship game) since back in January, when we were grinding it out,” UF linebacker Brandon Spikes said following the Gators’ 37-10 win over FSU at The Swamp.
