    He is THE biggest opponent. He runs the BCS and has suggested that if others try to move towards a playoff that the Big 10, Pac 10, and Rose Bowl will pull out of the NCAA.

    Wow, I thought Florida had a good chance of winning or at least having a close game, but didn't expect this big of a blowout.

    How does this rank as far as biggest upsets in a championship game (as far as what most people expected coming into the game)?

    Well the Gators won the BCS title. I give the title to the only remaining undefeated team. Boise State University Broncos. :D

    Isn't it just crazy how people are saying this now?

    Dude wins the heisman trophy and this game just completely demolishes his mystique..

    If you would have said "I think Kevin Kolb is a better QB than Troy Smith" 50 days ago people would think you were insane... but now people are seeing that there is a difference between being a captain and just a guy who stands at the deck of a really nice ship..

    All part of the reason why the Heisman is just a joke now.. it never goes to the best player.. it goes to the leader of the best TEAM.. its a team award now.. totally dumb.. there were a LOT better players this year than Troy Smith..

    Seriously. The wrong orange and blue (has to be the tackiest color combination in all of sports, btw) were in the title game.

    Well, at least this proves the SEC is THE TOUGHEST conference...and only going to be more competitive. There's probably going to be times in the next few years where a 2-loss SEC team is better than a no-loss Pac-10/Big 10 school.

    Yeah, there does need a playoff system; I guarantee the SEC will be leading the charge for that. The SEC was the first conference to implement a conference championship and former commissioner Roy Kramer spearheaded the BCS (like it or not, the intentions are good).

    Either way, Florida won me some $$$, so I'm not all pissed. :D

    Plus, Ohio State lost!

    I'd been telling my friend all year that Ohio State was overrated. I realize that not having Ginn helped too, but I never liked them.

    I say I think the SEC is the best football conference. Obviously, conferences can have up and down years, etc., but I mean in general (maybe not every year) top to bottom I think you can argue that it is the best conference. Others might disagree though and like another conferene of course.

    Florida, I'm sorry for underrating your offense. I guess playing in the SEC all year makes lesser defenses look bad.

    Man, Tebow is just tough to defend, ain't he? And did I hear the announcers correctly: was Tebow also a record-breaking high school QB? We need this guy on the Texans.

    I wouldn't apologize for underrating their defense, tOSU was dominating the Big 10 and Florida didn't look so great a couple games.

    But man did Urban Meyer do a number on Tressell. I thought OSU would dominate the game, but I personally think they just got outcoached. You don't go from being a Heisman winner to throwing for 35 yards and -15 rushing yards on your own.

    Congrats to Meyer and the Gators.

    1. USC (IF Pete Carroll stays)
    2. Michigan
    3. Auburn
    4. Louisville (IF Brohm and Bush stay)
    5. Florida

    (I do think Arkansas, Texas, and Tennessee are somewhere up there too perhaps)

    I was pretty much convinced that Florida was going to put on a heck of a game tonight after watching what LSU did to Notre Dame last week. People didn't see this coming because they were too eager to jump on Notre Dame's back and decry them for being overrated...but that game convinced me that the SEC is a league of its own these days. Throughout that game I was continually amazed at the superior speed, size and agility of LSU especially on defense. I thought to myself that -- if this is the same LSU team that got ROUTED by Florida (after suffering their sole loss of the season to Auburn), then Ohio State is going to have their hands full.

    The SEC is just superior right now. Seriously. There's way too much talent there. These teams beat up on each other throughout the season and never gain respect from the national media because monopolistic juggernauts in other parts of the country continue to plow through their conferences with unbeaten records. For all the talk of who "deserved" to be in the championship game, LSU would certainly have made a better opponent for Florida than OSU. (Oh wait, they got beaten up by Florida earlier. Never mind.)

    Oh --- one more thing. The reigning NFL defensive rookie of the year, one of the league's best rookie linebackers in many years, is from an SEC team (our very own Demeco Ryans). And I hope the Texans continue drafting defensive playmakers out of that conference.
