National Championship Game
Florida Gators Vs Oklahoma Sooners
8:00 PM EST On FOX

Finally, after what seems like an eternity of anticipation, we get to see a matchup of ~~the two best teams~~ two of the best teams in the country, with the two most recent Heisman Trophy winners leading their respective powerhouse offenses against some of the nation's elite defenses. Tim Tebow and Sam Bradford are both looking to send some big messages in this one.

There has been a ton of hype around this game for the past month and a half, since the two teams played their last games, which happened to be their respective conference championship games. Florida beat previously unbeaten Alabama 31-20, and Oklahoma took Missouri to the woodshed 62-21, for their 5th straight game with at least 60 points.

On of the questions surrounding this game is the health of Percy Harvin, the Gators stud WR. He's their most dynamic skill player, and provides Tim Tebow with an excellent target for big plays. If he plays at 100%, he'll be extremely dangerous. If not, the Sooners have a much better chance.

59% of FanIQ picked the Gators to win. But does it matter?

Due to the crazy system we have, it's hard to say that either of these teams are legitimate champions, unless we see a complete blowout by one of them.

Oklahoma already lost to Texas, who has a very legit claim that they were snubbed, and Florida beat Alabama by 11 in the SEC Championship game, who turned around and lost by 14 to Utah, who finished undefeated. The Florida-Alabama game was actually closer than the score indicated, while the Utah win in the Sugar Bowl was never really in question. So although Florida would be favored in that game, who's to say that Utah couldn't take them?

After Texas' narrow win over an Ohio State team that got blown out by USC, the Trojans also can stake a claim to the National Championship.

So after this game, what happens? Someone will be crowned the BCS National Champion, but once again, we'll never really know if they're the legitimate champions. Looks like we'll have to just deal with it, because it's not changing any time soon.

So best of luck to the Gators and the Sooners. This game, regardless of the joke that is the BCS, is the biggest game of the year, bar none. Can Urban Meyer and the Gators win their 2nd championship in 3 years? Or will Bob Stoops and the Sooners end their BCS Bowl losing streak?

If you're watching the game, chat it up here or on the game page. And as always, enjoy the game!

1	The Gators are going to win the BCS National Championship! Tim Tebow is going to lead us to victory and pick apart the Sooner defense. Go Gators!

1/8/09

1	The game will come down to the health of Percy Harvin. Both teams will put up numbers, that's a given. If Harvin is healthy enough to be himself, Florida will win, if not Oklahoma should be able to outscore the Gators. Both QB's will do their thing (Tebow rush, Bradford throw). Harvin is a gamebreaker and will decide the winner.

I'm trying not to listen to them. On my way back from work I was listening to the ESPN radio broadcast of it. They were pretty decent - I actually liked Herbstreit's contributions.

So a good win for Florida, great performance, but yet the announcers still manage to make me hurl..

"That might of been the first thing Tebow has ever done wrong in his life" after a 15 yard unsportsmanlike penalty...

"That might be the single most ridiculous statement ever" in reference to the Tebow comment of being the 4th best QB if he was in the Big 12...while Bradford, McCoy, and Harrell had looked so much better throughout the season..yup, ridiculous.

It's how badly the media beats it to death though that ticks me off the most. CBS is actually much more worse than anything ESPN has said about Tebow..and while he may be a stud and one of the best college players, it's still disgusting listening to others talk about him.

If the INT before halftime and the 4th down stop went the other way, OU could have won. I don't think you can really blame it on Stoops. I don't think there's anyone they could bring in who would do any better.

While the media isn't excused for getting on their knees, so to speak, they only do so because it's so rare that a star player has any degree of humility, and understands his influence on others.

At the risk of getting on my knees myself, I can somewhat understand the gushing. There's not a lot of college student-athletes like him. I respect him, in spite of his Gator-ness, and in spite of the horrible announcing that tends to follow him.

Anyways, that's my two cents on Tebow for tonight. I like the guy and wish there were more like him so that the media didn't have to treat it as such a big deal.

You deserve to celebrate. Florida showed tonight that they're one of the good teams in college football. They played hard and all you can do is beat the team you're scheduled to play.

It's not clear at all that they're better than Utah, so a split National Championship would be fair for everyone involved.
