Florida v. Oklahoma

By Big Tent Democrat

It's official - Florida v. Oklahoma for the college football national championship. I am happy for the Gators but I still hate the system. There is no reason - none - that there is not a college football playoff.

Do I think Florida and Oklahoma are the best two teams? Yes, I do. But who cares what I think or you think or the polls think or the computers think? (BTW, when people tell you 5 of 6 polls preferred Texas over Florida - they are not telling you the truth - the imposed BCS computer system - that ignores margin of victory - had Texas ahead - but the true computer systems have Florida as the best team - see Jeff Sagarin on this.)

A playoff is the only way to really crown a champion. 8 teams - Florida, Oklahoma, Texas, USC, Penn State, Virginia Tech, Cincinnati and Utah. They are playing in the 4 big bowls (Alabama and Ohio State are the other 2 teams in the BCS.) All we need is 3 more games - 2 semis - then a TRUE championship game.

In any event, Go Gators!! Speaking for me only
