Quick Thoughts on An Irrelevant Game

In five years, ask me who won the college football national championship in 2008, and my reply will be "the Utah Utes." Undefeated and with a most impressive resume, they are the best team in the country. Go ahead, try to disprove that fact. But because college football is a cesspool of corruption, greed and scantily clad cheerleaders, fans tonight will watch Oklahoma and Florida battle it out for the right to be a very undeserving champion. Congrats, BCS, that's quite an accomplishment.

Essentially, the game boils down to the performance of the quarterbacks: bible thumping Tim Tebow of Florida and pseudo-Asian Sam Bradford.



Bradford is the better quarterback, but the legend of Tebow is hard to overlook. Somehow Jesus Christ fits in there, as well.

To channel my inner Herbstreit: Neither defense will be able to shut down the opposing offense, but look for a more balanced Oklahoma offense to control the tempo of the game and limit Tebow's opportunities by placing an emphasis on time of possession and field position.

Final score: Oklahoma 38, Florida 30.
