I actually see Florida pulling out the win....they have all the tools, it should be an awesome game

Crouch was being scouted as a defensive back not a receiver.

Clayton, I know this doesn't really matter, but I just wanted to point out that the Rams drafted Crouch as a wide receiver. He switched over to safety when he went to NFL Europe.

I think Florida might be the most hated underdog ever in a national championship game. Usually everybody pulls for the underdog, yet this season everybody minus Gator fans are pulling for OSU. May I ask the people who hate Florida a reason why they do, because I have always been curious. I can understand Sep since UF-GA is a rivalry, just like im sure Seminole and Vol fans would want us to get crushed too.

[Chief Bstn]

Because theres to much controversy surrounding the Nat'll Championship. The reason I want Florida to lose (by at least a touchdown) is so hopefully they rethink the BCS.

[dkgojackets]

Actually, I want Florida to win and Boise to win. Then the BCS looks really f-ed up.

[detroitbasketball]

I'm cheering for the result that would make the BCS look stupid.

[Sportsbuck]

Well, if OSU blows out Florida it will create BCS hell.

[Claytons Crew]

I don't see anything wrong with it right NOW.

Everybody is talking about who should be in Michigan or Florida. Even if I was not a Gator fan, I would say they should be in. Michigan done had their shot at OSU and they lost. Why give it to them again?

[Chief Bstn]

Because that has nothing to do with the best two teams.

The BCS is set up to play the best two teams in the country, and it isn't doing that right now.

[Maize]

I'm not pulling for Ohio State, I'm pulling for the Big Ten. I like Urban Meyer, I really do, but I don't like Florida at all. I HATE Ohio State and Jim Tressel, but they <grits teeth> deserve it </grits teeth>.

[detroitbasketball]

I hope Florida loses by 50.

That'll make the BCS look brilliant.

[bearcat]

I think the reason for all the UF hate is the fact most people wanted a OSU-UM rematch.

Who exactly is the best two teams to you?

[Leak2Troupe03]

I can understand that, but even before this alot of people hated Florida. Hell, the BCS even hated us. We got jumped by USC out of nowhere earlier in the year, when they had lost to Oregon State and at home, playing little competition at that point and we lost on the road to Auburn.

If Notre Dame had beaten USC, that would of given them one win against a big team and they were going to jump us if they won. At one point ESPN was trying to talk about how Rutgers could beat Florida and that Teel wasnt that bad of a quarterback and could lead them over us (this was after the Louisville game)

Then, they get destroyed by Cincinnati and Teel did what? Its just hard not to notice those things when you played the toughest schedule came out of it with just one loss on the road in a game you controlled, yet you still have everything to prove.

Hopefully, in the Nat. Championship we can prove once and for all.

[Chief Bstn]

Teel > Leak. Just sayin'.

In my opinion, Michigan and Ohio State are the best two teams. The game between them proved that.

[NoT25hAbY]

Ohio State was in control of that game beside maybe a 4 minute span. The late score made it alot closer than it really was. Let's get real here. Florida proved they are the better team. I hate Florida and I know that. The only people who dont beleive Florida deserves to be #2 havn't watched them or like Michigan.

[Chief Bstn]

I've watched them struggle against enough teams to know they should not be number 2 in the nation. Their deffinately 3, I'm not saying their crap, but 1 point over SCAR, Vandy gave them a scare, it's not that impressive. They take bad teams for granted.

[Leak2Troupe03]

Mike Teel - 148-268, 55.2%, 10 TD, 13 INT (against weak Big East defenses)

Chris Leak - 207-329, 62.9%, 22 TD, 13 INT (against tough SEC defenses)

I just had to do that for Bstn.

Florida close games at 7 pts or less:
at #21 Tennessee 21-20
Georgia 21-14
Vandy 25-19
South Carolina 17-16
at Florida State 21-14

High margin against bowl teams:
Southern Miss 34-7
Kentucky 26-7
Alabama 28-13
#9 LSU 23-10
#8 Arkansas 38-28

Michigan close games at 7 pts or less:
at Penn State 17-10
Ball State 34-26 (had to note this even though it was 8)
at #1 Ohio State 42-39

High margin against bowl teams:
Central Michigan 41-17
at #2 Notre Dame 47-21
Wisconsin 27-13
at Minnesota 28-14
Iowa 20-6

Florida has five games won by 7 or less, while Michigan has three since I think its safe to add in the 8 point win against Ball State. Both teams have won by a margin of over 7 points against five bowl teams. Four of our games under a 7 point margin were against bowl teams, the other against Vanderbilt who made a late run in the fourth quarter.

I also wanted to add Michigan beat Vanderbilt 27-7, but if you remember they were only beating the Commodores 13-7 at halftime. So everybody backing Michigan and saying Florida played a close game against Vandy must have forgotten about their same struggles against them in the season opener.

South Carolina is the other team alot are noting for us struggling against. Truth is Steve Spurrier's 7-5 Gamecocks lost games to #8 Tennessee, #12 Arkansas, #6 Florida all by 7 points or less and in a three game span. They also lost to #2 Auburn by just 7.

Let's just say...

If Florida wins and Michigan loses....what are you going to say?

The BCS IS brilliant?

[Leak2Troupe03]

I know that no matter whether we win, lose and Michigan wins, loses I will still hate the BCS. I never liked it, and never will.
