New blog post: Do The Florida Gators Deserve To Play For The BCS Championship? http://tinyurl.com/6gwz5a

i believe they should jump in at 2nd and play for the BCS against Oklahoma who looks pretty good right now against Mizzou.

I really want to watch Bradford vs. Tebow

Yeah and it'll be a great coming home for Bob Stoops who was Florida's defensive coordinator on their 1996 national title team under Spurrier.

It should be them and SC. I am biased for Southern Cal, but they are the two best all-around teams. What makes me mad is the inconsistency with all of this. UF lost to Ole Miss at home (by 1), but that is no big deal to voters. SC lost to Oregon State on the road (ranked in the top 25 for half of the year) and all we hear is how USC can't handle the heat. Why? I don't know. There's just no consistency with the voters because a loss at home to bad team > than a loss on the road to a future top 25 team. It's basically everything that the voters are against….but not this year. Florida is in the SEC which is way sexier to voters than USC with the PAC-10 even though the SEC is down big time this year. All this talk has a solution: playoffs. OU runs up the score so they look better in the computers. UT beat them on a neutral field and are sitting at home tonight. Of course I'm going to complain about a playoff system being from Southern Cal , but no doubt the Tebows should be playing for a Championship in the current system. No questions about it. Tonight will be interesting because we don't even know where Bama will end up. But if we had a playoff system? There wouldn't be any questions. Maybe about who gets in to the final spot or not, but that's only 2-3 teams that would have a case rather than 6+ in the current system. Let's the kids decide it on the field where no one has to run up the score or do anything out of the ordinary to make their case.

I'd vote Tebow for Heisman. Sam Bradford is THE BEST QB in the nation right now, but his stats are so padded with the way Stoops calls plays up until the very end. Hell he went for it up 4th and goal up 62-14 a few weeks ago. Colt McCoy is a little better all around with his running ability than Bradford, but it's hard to vote for him looking at his teams current situation (he got screwed). You have to be consistent with the voting and they usually don't reward players who's teams aren't in the National Championship unless they are a complete standout. Graham Harrell is in a system and is the very best at running that system he is in, but I don't think he has a chance anymore. That leaves Tebow: I'd vote for him based on his speech after the Ole Miss game, but UF would be 8-4 at best without him. He's playing better than he did last year.

If they vote UF in, I'll be rooting for your Gators (unless they miraculously vote in the Trojans, but the AP and Computers don't like them). They are everything the SEC is not: spread offense and excitement (and defense which is nonexistent in the Big 12). Chomp away; I'll be smelling the Roses.

Wow, great comment. Thanks for your insight. I believe USC is better than what the polls indicate as well. The system is such a mess and you're absolutely right about a playoff system solving it all.

I saw your post that the Bears won easily so I'm happy for you in that regard. I understand your disdain for USC as I can't stand the Miami Hurricanes nor the Florida State Seminoles. In state rivalries tend to bring that out

I think Texas should be in the championship game with Oklahoma. USC should drop in rankings because they are not that good. My team UCLA held them to 24 points which is good considering how much injuries UCLA has got. Florida should be number 3

I suggest it should be Florida and Oklahoma. The way the system is set up now, you don't just reward overall records, but you reward the momentum and the amount of pummeling they deliver opponents. Oklahoma is crazy good, and Florida has risen up at the right time.

(Disclosure: Cal alum… likes Da Bears… who are headed to the weak Emerald Bowl. This of course means I hate $C.)

I was surprised by Florida and Tebow. He is the man, but I guess I had not learned that yet. I think that it HAS to be Florida and Oklahoma because right now the SEC has proven that over the past years they are better than all the other conferences, so until someone can prove otherwise, the SEC champion has to be considered the top dog.

any team that wins the SEC should be in the BCS championship game

The FL-AL game was the second best this year, after Texas-Texas Tech. IMHO: Texas should be in the NC game because they have several top wins and only 1 very tough loss (and I don’t like Texas). McCoy nearly brought them all the way back, on the road against a fresh and very charged Texas Tech team. FL is probably the best choice against TX in the NC game. OK looked great against MO but very bad against TX on a neutral field. USC has played a weak schedule but at least you could be sure they would ‘show up’ in the NC game (and I don’t like USC!), unlike OK in some instances. FL-OK may be interesting whereas FL-TX would almost certainly be classic.

Tebow is clearly the MVP (and I don’t like FL either!) though McCoy has done very well and deserves consideration. [Obligatory if irrelevant: 'Go Irish']
