BCS Championship Game, tOSU vs. Florida - Jan 8th

[gobucks2073]

I think what the voters need to keep in mind is 1.we already beat scUM and 2.how can you play for the national title if you didn't even win your conference.I think if we played scUM at the beginning of the year it may be different.

It comes down to this for me:

• USC choked big time!
• Florida arguably had the toughest schedule in college football on way to wining its conference.
• Florida had to play an extra game
• Michigan had its chance in Columbus but failed. OSU should not have to go 2-0 against Michigan to win the NC.

It is simple Florida should get the nod but probably will not. The Media, and in my crystal ball the voters, prefer Mich.

Florida has jumped scUM in the USA Today/Coaches Poll...

That link also shows Florida #2 in the AP, by 3 points over scUM.

In the coaches poll, Florida leads by 26. Basically of the 62 coaches, around 44 pick Florida, and 18 picked scUM.

Not looking good for scUM.

AP doesn't count though, Harris out around 4:30ish I believe.

We need to start ANOTHER thread about this.....

[Yertle]

And since the points work on the percentages, the 26 point margin is HUGE for Florida.

well turns out it is going to be Florida, LA Times reporting it now too. Interesting to see if our assistant Tim Beckman remembers much about the Urban Meyer offense from when he was with him at BG. Another nice advantage to have.

I'm just kinda playing devils advocate here, but why whould this matter? Is it impossible to have the two best teams in the same conference?

LA Times Reports that a BCS insider has stated the game will be OSU-UF.

It also confirms that the game is in Arizona

Gators over....rated.

You've made your bed and on Jan 8th you get to sleep in it. Enjoy your spanking, Gators.

It is officially Florida based on the Harris Poll. UF even got a first place vote.
