If you think about it most close games come down to turnovers. AL doesn't do that much. SC has had some problems. I'll go with what Spurrier said in his press conference. To paraphrase, " If they have an off day and we play a great game we have a chance to win". I think that about sums it up. AL is clearly the superior team here but, superior teams don't always win.
The bottom line is, if Alabama plays their A game and South Carolina does the same, Alabama wins and covers.
