What's the Fuss?

A lot has been made out of Tim Tebow’s humanity, Oklahoma’s no-huddle offense and Florida’s speed during this week’s lead up to the FedEx BCS National Championship Game in Miami.

But I think it’s the Sooners secondary that will be the difference between an Oklahoma win or a Florida win.

If Oklahoma’s secondary can play like it did against Texas Tech late in the season, I don’t think Florida’s speed will have a chance to win it the game. But that won’t be the case. The Gators will get to the outside and break through the tackles, and through the Sooners secondary en route to a second national championship in three years.

Final score: Florida 45, Oklahoma 38.

I was listening to ESPN Radio last week and a clip was played of Bob Stoops announcing that the Oklahoma Sooners played five ranked teams this season, more than any other team in the country.

Well, Bob, you’re wrong.

First, the Sooners played six: No. 24 TCU (Sept. 21), No. 5 Texas (Oct. 5), No. 16 Kansas (Oct. 12), No. 2 Texas Tech (Nov. 22), No. 11 Oklahoma State (Nov. 29) and No. 19 Missouri (Dec. 6).

That’s one more than the Gators played.

They’ll both up their totals tonight. Florida is ranked No. 1 in the country according to The Associated Press and Oklahoma is No. 2.

Thursdsay’s FedEx BCS National Championship game will be simulcasted at the O’Connell Center following the Florida Gators women’s basketball game.

Fans can watch the women for free at 5 p.m. Doors open at 4 p.m.

After 5:30 p.m., only Florida students, faculty and staff with Gator 1 cards will be permitted inside.

The game, which will start at 7:17 p.m. CST, will be shown on four large video boards. Concessions will be available and the doors will remain open until the beginning of the third quarter or until all seats are taken.

With one regular season over (Big Ten) and the rest either in their last week or just have their championship games left, I thought it’d be a good time to make some, and maybe my final, BCS predictions.

Drumroll please…

Rose: Penn State vs. USC **
Fiesta: Texas vs. Boise State
Orange: Virginia Tech vs. Cincinnati
Sugar: Alabama vs. Utah
National Championship Game: Florida vs. Oklahoma

**Just like a couple years ago when UCLA upset USC, this could change in 60 minutes. Also, I talked with BCS Coordinator Bill Hancock last week and he said the Rose Bowl would’ve invited Penn State and Oregon State regardless of the bowls preference against rematches. The Nittany Lions beat the Beavers 45-14 on Sept. 6

The Football Championship Subdivision playoffs bracket was unveiled Sunday. Just thought I’d pass it along and let you, the college football fan readers, see for yourself what it would look like and how neat a FBS playoff could be.

Sweet dreams.
