Florida to play Oklahoma for National Championship

The SEC and Big 12 championships went just as I expected with Florida edging out number one Alabama despite Percy Harvin being sidelined and Oklahoma having yet another 60 point game while giving Mizzou a beating. Both Florida and Oklahoma have quarterbacks that are in contention for the Heisman Trophy.

Florida's quarterback Tim Tebow, despite not having the stats Sam Bradford has, is in my opinion more deserving of the award simply for his unselfishness and ability to lead his team. “I’ve had some great players, and I’ve got some great players on this team,” Florida coach Urban Meyer said. “But I’ve never had one like this. Tim’s got something special inside him. I’m not talking about throwing. I’m not talking about running. I’m talking about making everyone around him better. That fourth quarter was vintage Tim Tebow.” Even Alabama coach Nick Saban had nothing but praise for him after having their undefeated season ruined.

He’s a great competitor. He takes his teammates on his shoulders a lot. They have a lot of confidence he’s going to make plays, and they play that way. They scored two touchdowns where we had them covered about as well as we could cover them. Every time [Florida] needed to make a play, Tim Tebow made a play.

On the other hand, Sam Bradford has thrown 48 touchdown passes, more than any quarterback this season and led his team to five consecutive 60 point games a feat never seen before in NCAA football. The matchup of these two teams will most definitely be the biggest game of the season. I'm most certain the game will be a nightmare for defensive coordinators on both teams. Hopefully this game will be much better than the OU-Tech game, I'm sure if Tim Tebow has anything to do with it, Florida will put up quite a fight against Oklahoma.

Oklahoma to play Mizzou for Big 12 title

Oklahoma defeated state rival Oklahoma State Saturday 61-41, putting them ahead of Texas in the BCS standings and leading them to the Big 12 championship game against Mizzou. Despite Texas beating both Oklahoma and Mizzou, OU beat out Texas with a .9351 BCS average compared to Texas's .9223. Texas coach Mack Brown is unhappy with the situation, but understands the situation.

Going into the last couple of weeks, we knew that a good team was going to be left out of the Big 12 championship. Unfortunately, in this situation, it was us. It is what it is. We don’t like it, we don’t agree with it or think it’s fair, but, like anything else, we’ll handle it and move forward.

OU coach Bob Stoops finds the rating system fair after being ranked ahead of Texas. “They don’t have agendas, they don’t have loyalties, they don’t have opinions. They don’t have all the bias that everyone else does, and if you say no one else does, then I don’t think you’re really being truthful.” OU is favored to win the Big 12 championship and if they win, will go onto play the winner of the SEC championship game between undefeated Alabama and number 4 Florida. All the controversy this past month has put a strong emphasis on many people to put a playoff system in NCAA football. Though this has always been a controversial topic, this year seems to have more talk about it than ever but obviously with nothing changing.
