Alabama prevented a Florida team from covering the SEC Championship and likely consolidating as the No. 1 team. 1 in the college football playoffs.
The Crimson Sea defeated the Gators, 52-46.
The factor that made the difference was Najee Harris, who fled Alabama.

Harris finished with five total touchdowns in the game – three receptions and two in a hurry. It was hard to decipher where he dominated the most. Harris ran for 178 meters on 31 ports in play, while he also had five catches for 67 meters.
However, for the most part, Harris was the one who contributed the most to the 52 points in Alabama.
Mac Jones was 33-for-43 with 418 yards and five touchdown passes. He had two at DeVonta Smith, who had 15 catches for 184 yards.
The three legitimate contestants of the Alabama Heisman Trophy came to play.

Florida has really left its heart and soul on the field.
Kyle Trask was 26-for-40 with 408 yards and three touchdown passes. He had a touchdown for Kadarius Toney, Kyle Pitts and Trevon Grimes in the game.
Florida fell 35-17 at the break and really turned the corner in the third quarter. Grimes’ touchdown came with 13:25 left in the third, and Nay’Quan Wright had a 3-yard rushing touchdown to close out the third quarter and bring the Gators back to four points.
But it was a fourth quarter of 17 points that helped Alabama win. Harris and Smith had every touchdown in that frame.
Alabama will likely be the No. 1 seed in the college football playoffs, as they were the No. 1 team. 1 in the country since Clemson lost to Notre Dame earlier this year.
