You take that play away, then something else will happen, but we just don't know what will happen exactly. That being said, I still think it will be Alabama and Florida in the SEC championship game.

I don't think I said that Florida wouldn't have won without that play. I think it was just a bad call on the part of the officials. That being said, bad calls or non-calls happen in every game.

I can't see anyone in the SEC East except Florida being in the championship game. I think the East is still wide open. Don't annoint Alabama the SEC West champs yet...

I was trying to direct what I said to any ONE person, merely a statement of dislike to those who are all about arguing that changing one play can change the outcome of the entire game. Case in point, Twins vs. Yankees, game two where the ump called a hit to left line foul instead of fair. Maybe a new pitcher will be introduced, maybe a different set of calls. You know what I mean?

You are correct. Seldom is it one play that makes the difference. Just don't tell that to any Seahawks fans that were robbed in the Superbowl a couple of years ago. The replay showed it wasn't a touchdown, but the officials let it stand.

Despite that call, I believe LSU would have lost anyway because they couldn't get the offense moving.
