Florida Vs. Oklahoma: Take "OFFENSE"


The time that we have all been waiting for is finally here. The BCS is final and it has shown its' true colors. The BCS has been criticized many times in the past for not choosing the correct teams to play in the BCS National Championship game. For example last season the BCS chose overrated Ohio State and a two-loss LSU Tigers team to play in the title game. This was heavily scrutinized as many felt the two best teams in the country at the time were Georgia and USC, as they were both dominating their opponents. It's the same this year, but arguably the two hottest teams are playing for the BCS National Championship.

On January 8th, 2009 the number one ranked Florida Gators will take on the number two ranked Oklahoma Sooners for the BCS National Championship in Miami. By the way the last time the Sooners were in Miami they played the USC Trojans for the BCS National Championship and got it handed to them, 55-19. This game is not without argument though. The Texas Longhorns feel that they, not the Oklahoma Sooners, should be playing Florida in the National Championship game. Texas beat Oklahoma 45-35 in their head to head match-up, but the BCS chose the hotter team at time. I'm sure that this will continued to be argued, but there is nothing you can do about it. The BCS National Championship should be a dream match-up for many as it will more than likely be a high scoring game with two of the best offensive teams in the nation. This will be very exciting to watch. As for the other BCS bowl games. Texas will play the Ohio State Buckeyes in the Fiesta Bowl. Alabama will battle the undefeated Utah Utes in the Allstate Sugar Bowl. Virginia Tech will take on Cincinnati in the Orange Bowl. Not to be outdone the USC Trojans will play in their record setting 33rd Rose Bowl against Joe Paterno and the Penn State Nittany Lions. This should be a very intriguing bowl game with two of the best college football programs in America playing. Not to mention the fact that the two head coaches may be two of the best we have ever seen. This should be a great bowl season and let's go bowling!
