They better be focused on winning, period. Anything else and they are asking for trouble. It took a hell of a lot of work just to get to this point, and no one knows when we'll be in this position -- a shot at a conference championship and a spot in the national title game -- again.
Alabama isn't The Citadel; they are the number one ranked team in the nation. If Meyer and Co. are thinking about anything other than winning they should be fired, or at least kicked in the ass.

IF Florida wins saturday... and Tebow has a good day... do we think this will vault his chances at a repeat? And do you think that will be on Meyer/Mullin mind as part of their preparation/goals? Or do you think they (like Tebow) are just focused on getting the W.

The sophomore Bradford gets one last chance to impress voters in Saturday night’s Big 12 Championship Game against Missouri in Kansas City.

The final poll, which comes out next Tuesday, has predicted the Heisman winner correctly in 18 of the previous 21 seasons. Ten voters select five players each week. The tabulations are made on a 5-4-3-2-1 basis, with five points for a first-place vote, four points for second, etc. First-place votes are in parentheses. > > > This week’s poll, with statistics from last week: > > > Player, Position, School, Last Week, Points > > > 1.
