So anyone here actually think we saw the best team in the country play tonight?

I think USC straight up beats UF by 2 touchdowns, and I think Utah could go toe to toe with them this year. What a useless season of college football... up to 4 teams can make a claim for the national championship, and 3 of them very legitimately.

and 2 of them guaranteed to get nothing out of it. And possibly 3 of them nothing out of it.

So anybody thinks there is a chance for a split championship? probably not, because it's too split.
 
Ugh... all this BS makes want to go kick a dog.
 
Here's a ho to make me feel better.

Nice piece of tail, but in reality, USC is the only team that can hang with Florida. That's the national title game that I want to see. I believe it would be a defensive battle. USC's offense is nowhere near as good as OU's. USC is playing some good football, but Florida played some damn good football themselves. Don't kid yourself about Utah. Florida's better than Bama in almost every facet of the game. Plus, Urban Meyer installed the offense they run? You think Florida wouldn't be able to gameplan against it? Utah's entire gameplan would have to be to throw wrinkle after wrinkle at Florida, and eventually if you do that too much, it starts to hurt you as you've out-thought yourself.

There should be a split title between USC and Florida. I honestly can't say that either is decisively better than the other, although, with a gun to my head, I would side with Florida for Tebow and their respective playmakers.
 
I thought it was a good game minus OU not scoring those two trips. I was very impressed with both quarterbacks even though they didn't have their best games. I think the BCS got it right personally.
 
You bring up a very key point regarding something that pretty much has to be acknowledged as a reality by now, particularly if you watched the 4th quarter of the championshop game last night.

There flat out 100% absolutely is a "Tebow Factor".

While it's obviously a somewhat amorphous aspect to objectively define, the sheer ability of this kid to put the team on his back and "will the win" has happened too many times to be anything but a sheer triumph of personal leadership.

I've watched college football for more than fifty-five years now. I've seen better runners and better passers but when it comes to flat out better football players and better leaders, thus kid is without peer.

Congratulations to the Gators (I sure would love to see a USC-Florida game!)
 
OU outplayed Florida in the First half, but choked when they had to punch the ball in twice. I think that OU is better than UF after watching that game to be honest. And I was given a chance to build a team around Tebow or Bradford it would be no questions that I would chose Bradford. UF and the SEC always find some way to win and last night was just another one of those cases.
 
I've thought Florida was the best team in the country for the entire season, even after the Ole Miss loss (which doesn't look that bad now).
 
Nope, Florida is the best team. USC would play much like Oklahoma but in the end they would lose. Tebow makes the difference. He refuses to lose and would do whatever it took to beat USC. USC does not meet anyone that can lay the wood like Florida and just comes at you full throttle every play on both sides of the ball. USC vs. Oklahoma would be a toss up but in my expert opinion Florida would beat USC.

Go Jackets!

I like to call that factor making the correct reads, which is something he wasn't doing in the first half. He's a beast, and he's a hell of a player, but I think his success is partially predicated on being the best possible fit for the best possible system for him.

The game last night was terrible, and Utah should be #1. The ACC officiating crew did a marvelous job representing the ACC, as they do in every game...
 
Who knows? All of the BCS games were fully of sloppy because of the 40 day lay off. (Disclosure: I didn't watch the Orange Bowl). Last night the teams committed stupid penalty after dumb penalty. The offenses were rusty. Alabama came out asleep. Penn State came out with wet feet. Who the hell knows and why do we base so much on a game that happened over a month after the season when the teams already peaked? The only thing I know is the system is retarded.

If I were the ultimate supreme judge of National Champs, I'd award the trophy cut into equal parts to Florida, Utah, USC, and Texas. Each of those has just as much claim to the "National Championship" (sic) as the others.

If I had to pick the best team that could beat any other team on a neutral field, I'll take USC.

But--we DO need some sort of play-off.:mad:

The PAC-10 was 5-0 in bowl games this year, while the Big 12 and SEC had middling records. At least one direct "chain" of results does not bode well for Florida vs. USC.

USC>>tOSU(approximately)=UT>OU<Florida

I guess my point is the Big 12 and SEC faltered in their bowl games. A big win for Florida, Alabama, did not do well against Utah. Same for Texas Tech against Ole Miss or Texas against Ohio State, a team USC manhandled.

USC had their one misstep, Pete Carroll's one WTF game a year, but I think the computer rankings will hold them as a consensus champion.
 
I'm cool with UF being #1. I do think there are enough close teams that UF, Utah, OU/TX and USC should have played it off. None other than those 5 really have a claim to make, imo.
 
I thought the playoffs started now?

USC vs. Utah
Florida vs. Texas

... winners play for the title?
 
I think UF is probably the best team in the country, but it doesn't really matter to me who the best team in the country is. The Champion of any sport isn't the best one, it's the one that did everything right to become champion.

The Patriots were clearly the best NFL team last year, but they weren't the champions. The NCAA basketball tournament rarely ends with the 'best' team winning in the final game.

Texas is out. they didnt win their conference and they showed nothing in the bowl win to say that they are the best team in the country. they almost lost to Ohio st, the 2nd best team in the Big 10

USC plays Utah to face Florida. That is all that is left.

what he said....

The bowls are so delayed they are almost irrelevant. You sure don't see the best teams at their best.
