THE BIG ONE--South Carolina vs. Alabama

One of the biggest college football games of the year will take place today in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, as the Alabama Crimson Tide plays host to the South Carolina Gamecocks this evening at 7:45 PM.

Alabama is undefeated this season with a record of 6-0 and sits atop the SEC Western division. As the Number 2 team in the nation, the Tide has a good chance of clinching the BCS national championship.

South Carolina began the season unranked but moved into the Number 22 spot after a key victory over Number 4 ranked Old Miss and posting a record so far of 5-1. The Gamecocks have won in Tuscaloosa only once in all of the years of play, but coach Steve Spurrier says they have a plan in place to overcome the odds.

This game is considered pivotal in the hard-fought SEC, which is considered the toughest conference in NCAA football.
