Maybe they'll prove the naysayers wrong with some miracle performance now, but I think they used up their miracles getting into this game in the first place ;( I like UT over OU. We played like crap against OSU but we got it done when it mattered; OU looked good in the first half of this game but hasn't done jack with their opportunities. It's a national championship game and OU still sucks. I don't think OU sucked that game at all lol | ||

But Oklahoma going over Texas is as ridiculous as when Florida State went over Miami. So, by this logic Ole Miss is the best team in the country? | ||

But oh well. The BCS messed up again, hardly big news. Congrats to the Gators on an excellent season, they are definitely the most deserving team based on what did play out with the bowl selections. | ||

"what the fuck were we playing against out there?!?!" "a defense" congrats to florida and all the bowl winners, it'll be awesome (and a bit lulzy) to see how the final rankings turn out. i'm willing to bet that OU isn't a guarantee at all to take the #2 spot, given the way the rest of the season has gone. also, if UT and OU played again i think OU would have the edge. UT won only because of some sick heroic play by orakpo and sergio kindle, i dunno if they'd be able to do it again. | ||

I swear I was going to rip off someone's head after the 4th false-start penalty by that 75 guy on Florida. When OU started off a drive they were freaking scary. But our defense really picked it up and our offense, though was full of errors first have pulled through in the end. Aw man I love being a Gator. | ||

UT won only because of some sick heroic play by orakpo and sergio kindle, i dunno if they'd be able to do it again. imo, it was more because McCoy completed 80% of his passes and Shipley and Cosby both went over 100 yards. Ship also returned a kickoff for TD when OU went up 14-3, probably the game-changing play. McCoy was just ridiculously accurate this season, setting a NCAA record for completion %. Orakpo and Kindle pretty much saved Texas in the first half against Ohio State as well, sacking the QBs on big plays and usually stopping the run at the line; Miller had a big hand in that too. On the few runs that got past the line, the linebackers got totally burned which is how Wells got all of his yards, but most of his carries were for 0-3 yards. Texas is the only team in the big 12 with any semblance of a defense this year... for comparison, UT finished ~20th in scoring defense while OU was ~60th. It's not a USC-caliber defense, but good enough when you have the best QB in college football. (that's just imo; obviously Tebow, Bradford, and Harrell are all extremely good themselves) If they rematched, it would totally come down to McCoy's play. McCoy played like ass in the first half against Texas Tech and in the first half against Ohio State. When he plays like that, you're basically looking at '07 Texas. When he plays the way he has the rest of the season, Florida and USC are probably the only teams who can match up. Maybe Utah. (I don't think so, but I also thought Alabama would crush them, so who knows) | ||

Snead had originally committed to Florida too, but when he found out Tebow was coming in as QB he withdrew his commitment and went to Texas, then McCoy was there so he went to Ole Miss, where he finally gets to shine. I felt so crappy about Florida losing to Ole Miss, but considering how they turned out the rest of the season I don't feel so bad anymore. In fact I think they're gonna be a pretty solid team next year. | ||

AP 1. florida 2. utah 3. usc 4. texas 5. oklahoma USA today 1. florida (all 1st place votes except for 1) 2. usc 3. texas 4. utah (with 1 first place vote, guess who!) 5. oklahoma the coaches' association apparently agreed to have all of its voters put the winner of the national championship game at #1 (in the usa today poll), but apparently utah's coach voted them #1 anyway, which means he could possibly lose his vote. if you look at the points it's pretty clear that florida should be #1 and also that oklahoma is pretty far behind the pack. however texas and usc are very, very close to each other in both polls (3 points apart in the AP and 4 points in the USA today poll), so i think if all the usc/utah/texas backers would've agreed to vote for one (or maybe even two) teams they could've fucked things up epicly. i might feel a little sorry for oklahoma, but i can't help laughing too. fuck the bcs. | ||
