GRR: Alabama
The University of Alabama did it again.
Two years after pulling off a shock semifinal victory in the SCRC, the Crimson Tide pulled off two upsets in dramatic, iff different, fashion to win the conference this past weekend.
Tennessee and Alabama meet up Saturday in the SCRC final, and everyone knows this is going to be an unpredictable game.
So, maybe, being unpredictable is, in and of itself, predictable. Tennessee was upset by Alabama in the SCRC semis two years ago, and this year ‘Bama mounted a stirring comeback to beat Kentucky in the semis, exacting revenge for an earlier loss to the Wildcats.

Tennessee and Alabama will meet next week for the SCRC championship after both won their semifinals this weekend.
The SCRC playoffs begin with Saturday’s semifinals as Tennessee takes on Florida and Alabama hosts Kentucky.
For Tennessee it’s been a tough run, but they emerged 24-22 winners over Kentucky, and 13-10 winners over South Carolina. Slightly less good goalkicking and one mistake here and there and they might be where South Carolina is now, 3-2 and staying home.
