I'm not sure you couldn't make that argument, gator. Head to head, it's incontrovertible that Florida was better on that night. Based on the body of work from that season, however, I think you could make the argument that
OSU would win more than 50% of a hypothetical series with Florida. It's a moot point, however, because it's all hypothetical.
Edit: I should add this, as well. I do not necessarily think that a single head to head game is an indicator of which team is "better" (whatever that means, exactly). In 2002, I thought Miami was a better team than
OSU. I still think that.
OSU did, however, beat Miami fair and square in one of the greatest games ever played. I don't think that my opinion of Miami (that they were better than
OSU) takes anything away from
OSU's legitimacy as champion.
OSU won in 2002, and they were the champ. Florida won in 2006, and they were the legitimate champ. I just don't happen to think that means they were better than
OSU in 2006. Hope that clears it up a little bit.
