BCS title game

[WRoss]

So being a Florida fan my whole life, I might be biased in this pick. But I truely feel that Florida will show up and win this game. Having over a month off to work on their inconsistent regular season play, I expect them to come out in the first half and gain an early lead. On the down side, if OSU comes out with their running backs and are able to convert on 2nd down then its going to be a long day for UF. Also, I think Florida has proven that they are the better team with the 2 minute drill. The Leak-Tebow combo has proven effective all year and I expect Meyer to take full advantage of Tebow's size and skill and his unknown pass potential to throw in a few suprise plays.

Overall, I see Florida upsetting the powerhouse of OSU.

UF 27 - 24 OSU

GO GATORS!

[Parkbandit]

I rooting for the Gators (spent 3 months in Gainesville.. you have to root for the 'home' team).

17-13 in an upset.

[stallion4]

I'm taking OSU by about 17..I'm thinking 34-17. Florida is definately better than a lot of people are giving them credit for. I can't see them holding that offense to 13 pts but stranger things have happened. I hope all in all it's a good game and the Buckeyes pull away in the early/middle 4th.

34-17 Buckeyes win.

Go Bucks!

[WRoss]

yeah, florida has had some late game problems, but they also have pulled out some wins in the 4th quarter. Look at the UF Tenn game....unbelievable ending

[WRoss]

also, OSU is 0-7 against SEC teams in bowl games. Saw that on SC earlier

[Oniros]

USC should never have lost to damn UCLA and should be in the game. As such my prediction is:

THE Ohio State University (Still don't know why NFL players add the THE) - 38

The "Crying Urban Meyers" Florida Gators - 24

On a side note I really hope they get extra tricky with Tim Tebow and have him pass more.

It should be fun to watch Ginn and Harvin two of the most explosive players in the game right now...

[WRoss]

Dont' forget, UF has one of the best Defenses. Not sure of exact rank, but I think they are 3rd?

[stallion4]

Dont' forget, UF has one of the best Defenses. Not sure of exact rank, but I think they are 3rd?

Michigan's defense was ranked rather high too at the time. Not saying Florida's isn't as good as Michigan's...but they got gashed up badly.

[WRoss]

But to acknowledge what everyone has said, I really expect the first half to be pretty quick and high scoring. A lot of plays on the ground. The end of the half and third quarter will be low scoring and boring. Again, this is why I picked UF 27, OSU 24

[stallion4]

I'm curious to see if Tressel comes out and tries playing a little field position and letting everyone get comfortable on offense or if he rolls up the sleeves and lets the dogs loose on Florida and tries to punch 'em in the face early.

[Marl]

24--17 Florida

[WRoss]

Guys, these are both very offensive teams, I was being conservative guessing 27-24. I would not be suprised to see both teams in the 30's....But as for Tessel coming out and letting the dogs loose and going aggressive early on. I'm not sure. That'd definately be a gamble, but with as consistent as Florida's defense has been in the first half and that most of their points scored in the second half were because of offensive turn overs....I really don't see that paying off. But for Florida's sake, I hope they do come out and try and be aggressive get an early turn over or a few three and outs.

[stallion4]

He let 'em loose on Michigan's defense..and ran 'em with it. Just something to think about.

[stallion4]

Gotta pack up the laptop for the evening too many people showing up..Everyone enjoy the game! Let's hope it's a good one!

Go Bucks!

[Makkah]

Good to see they stole Auburn's flying of the eagle pre-game ritual...

[WRoss]

Anyone want to bet 1m silver on the game? IM me in the next few minutes... we can talk

[Alfster]

OSU by 13

[Makkah]

I'm gonna say OSU by 3. Don't cover the spread.

Go Gators though.

[Alfster]

NICE KICKOFF COVERAGE FLORIDA

[WRoss]

Wait, am I watching Devin Hester?

[WRoss]

PHUQ!!!!!!!!!!

[WRoss]

Ohh what, did I call a first quarter? Now lets see OSU's offense fail to the UF defense

[WRoss]

Any takers on my 1m bet, even bet, I take UF....Believe OSU is getting between 4-7...so its a fair bet?

[Sean of the Thread]

HMMMMM UF had a missed tackle on the kickoff that cost a touchdown.... ... but the best part is they fucking butchered OSU defense to tie up .. looked like they cut thru butter on the way to the endzone.

[WRoss]

DEFENSE

DEFENSE

DEFENSE!!!

[WRoss]

its great to be a florida gator!

[Apathy]

I'll let your obsessive posting slide due to your avatar.

Post more plz.

[WRoss]

Sorry, what can I say, both my parents graduated from Florida, my grandfather was head SEC official for 8 years, and I've seen probably 60-70 UF games in my life time. Plus I met Danny Wurffel (I know thats spelled wrong).

[Doughboy]

Don't forget to mention that missed holding call...

[Sean of the Thread]

I thought it was legal to drag someone down to their back by the rear shoulder guards?!?!?!?! yeah wtf was that...

Hey look they cut thru the butter AGAIN for another quick score.


I SAID IT'S GREAT TO BE A FLORRRRRRIDA GATOR.

[Marl]

SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK

27--14 im stayin with my prediction

[Sean of the Thread]

SECOND sack in the first 11 minutes MUAHAHAHHA.

Seriously 3 minutes left in the 1st quarter and NOT A SINGLE YARD OF OFFENSE FOR THE BUCKEYES.

[Sean of the Thread]

AND MORE NEGATIVE... INTEERRRRRRRRCEPTED!

Seriously... who thought it was a fair game to put a big10 team against SEC's best in the championship? It's just not fair.

[WRoss]

Seanny, I love you brother! All I got say is DEFENSE!

[Marl]

As much as it breaks my heart to say this (being a diehard UGA fan)

IM lovin me some gators right now

[Sean of the Thread]

LOLZ... funny how all my OSU I friends are suddenly logged off of their AIM.


PuSSSIES. Send me a u2u when either you or OSU shows up tonight.

[Sean of the Thread]

21- (lucky break) 7.


... this is what happens when you play a real team.

[Marl]

wow im gonna have to change my prediction......

54--14 ill give OSU the benefit of the doubt the can get one more in the endzone...

Announcer quote
"We havent seen Ohio State play like this ALL year"
Well no shit they don't play anyone worth a shit
Welcome to the SEC

[Sean of the Thread]

9 first downs to 1 in the first Q... with OSU bringing in a solid 11 total yards.


YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME REALLY!

[Marl]

denied!

[RichardCranium]

Not bad for a Pop Warner team.

[WRoss]

I am truely shocked, But remember UGA vs VT....we still have a second half

[Marl]

i remeber that one very well!

[Sean of the Thread]

ROFL. OSU RULES!! (except when they play a real team from a real conference)

That is all.

[Makkah]

SEC stand up.

[RichardCranium]

go play Boise state for the mid-major bowl




A rematch was in order -- especially when you consider a shitty team like Florida is now going into Tempe to get stomped by OSU. This wont even be a game.




Florida is going to get housed. Not even worth watching.




All you sad, sad, dillusional SEC fans need to realize that just because your conference is DEEP..doesn't make it the most talented overall. Throw anyone of those teams on the field with OSU/Michigan and kiss 'em goodnight.




Edited to add: Listen to any NON SEC homers like the goofs posting on here and you'll see that everyone is saying Michigan is #2 in reality. Does anyone here really think Florida is better than Michigan? Sad.

I'm not saying Florida will lose by 4 touchdowns but they will be close if not over double digit dogs. Squeeking by those pretty good schools..laughable.




Anyways..big game..heisman winner (landslide by the way)...best coach in the country..Florida is in trouble. Should be interesting..everyone breathed a sigh of relief as Ohio State fans when Florida got picked. Funny really..ah well. Anything can happen! LoL

Ahhh...the irony.





Would I rather play UF? sure. it's an easy win and I don't have to sweat it. UM would be a much better game, and is the only team in the country that could beat OSU.





Florida has a shot in this game if Ohio State shoots themselves in the foot repeatedly and in the worst way. Talent wise, Ohio State is hands down the better team. Coaching..same. Big game players..None better than Troy Smith. Florida can make it interesting but they definately don't pose as big a threat as Michigan.




Maybe LSU and UF should team up and play OSU together...that may give them a shot of at least covering the spread.





Are you freaking kidding me? SEC = Pop Warner apparently.




I guess if you get excited to watch your team be blown out, then more power to you.

Good call, all y'all. So bring it. Tell me how things would have been different if Ginn had been in the game. They weren't doing much better with him. Tell me how the 51 day lay-off hurt so bad. That didn't matter when you were talking shit for the last few weeks.

I haven't seen any of the above post in this thread lately...

[Makkah]

Ouch. I bet that kinda hurts.

To repeat: SEC stand up. UF take a bow.

[Marl]

I am seeing posts in other forums about how long OSU had off etc etc........

excuses rain down from the heavens

Shitty SEC ftw

[Sean of the Thread]

ROFL... all I got to say is I told you bitches so. All I gotta say besides that is SCOREBOARD!


OSU got dominated.. embarrassed .. destroyed. That's what happens when you play a real team from a real conference. Maybe next year you'll play a tougher schedule.


Seriously... 1 first down? 80 yards? STFU.

hey X I hear USC is supposed to be pretty good next year. Not too early to get on that bandwagon.

No thanks after tonight I am back to hating Florida as much as usual..

You can tell me good luck with Stafford next year and I will say thanks he will be very strong and UGA will take the SEC championship next year.

[Makkah]

You could say that, but you'd be wrong. ;)

[Marl]

You could say that, but you'd be wrong. ;)

UGA > Auburn

:)

[Makkah]

And LSU and UF and Arkansas and UA and... Vanderbilt?

[Marl]

what??!?!? huh? I dont remember what you are talking about....

I was sick those weekends and call bullshit on their losses

BUt then again I could say UGA had 51 days off between those games and just wasnt ready

[Makkah]

hahahah

[Drew]

Haha thanks for quoting all the big 10 nuthuggers for us RichardCrainium. I made a bunch of money, -8 point spread, IDIOTS!


Florida is my most hated team too, I'm just not stupid and I can recognize a good team when I see one.

Ohio State = 3rd or 4th best team in the SEC.

[Solkern]

texas lh next year ftw!!

[B2]

Yay, I sobered up enough to find the computer again!

I felt obligated as a Florida alumna to come comment, even though after that game there's really nothing to say.

Where would I even start? I could say something about how half of OSU's points came because of blind Pac-10 officials. They missed another call early too...the first three out of four plays should have been OSU penalties.

Or I could wonder how someone wins the Heisman with four completed passes in a game.

But honestly. Seriously? I had expected Florida to win, but...

Seriously?

THIS was the unstoppable juggernaut?

Bitch all you want about having an off day and a bad game. The one player that can catch a ball not there? Poor things. I'm amazed how the team that played tonight made it this far.

The game tonight was dull. I'd much rather watch the Boise State game from last week.

...and now that I mentioned Boise State, I would like to say that I hate everyone that's calling them National Champions just because they're undefeated. I flipping HATE Cinderella teams and I wish we had a playoff system just so we could shut them down and shut everyone up. Right, George Mason?

...okay, I think I'm done. I needed to get some heckling out of my system. There were like five Ohio State fans at the Gators bar tonight, but they left before half time and deprived me of shrieking rights. THEY LEFT BEFORE HALF TIME. Way to support your team, losers.

Ohhhh man. I have no voice and a hateful headache. But you know what?

National Champions, bitches.

[Hulkein]

You either a Gator or you Gator bait.

[Meges]

FATALITY!

Welcome to the SEC Ohio!

[Parkbandit]

Pwnd imo.

[Apathy]

Ohio State = 3rd or 4th best team in the SEC.

Does that mean Wisconsin = 1st or 2nd best team in the SEC?

[Gan]

Not that I post much in the sports folder, although I do follow collegiate and professional sports (as well as some high school football/baseball in our area).

I have to say, I've thoroughly enjoyed the smack thats been dished out here, and the pwnage resulting from the spanking that OSU received. I was more entertained by the Michigan game, personally.

I give this thread 5 stars.

[Sean of the Thread]

BUMP!

[RichardCranium]

Wisconsin isn't even as good as Ohio State.

[Doughboy]

Wisconsin has a team? Didn't know girls lacrosse was that big up in cheese country.

[Apathy]

They did beat the 2nd best team in the SEC.

And by the way we will own you in basketball, bitches.

p.s. a big hearty FU to all you Big10 softies that back down and say "GG Florida you showed us." You suck.

[Keller]

There is a difference between getting beat and getting crushed. OSU got crushed. It's better to ignore them, let them juggle each other's testes, and wait for next year.

[Mistomeer]

They did beat the 2nd best team in the SEC.

And by the way we will own you in basketball, bitches.

Just like they did in football? OSU got royally fucking stomped and Florida has the title for basketball and football, but if it makes you feel better to talk about how you're going to win a title in a different sport four months from now then by all means, continue on.



p.s. a big hearty FU to all you Big10 softies that back down and say "GG Florida you showed us." You suck.

Yeah, don't back down. Replay the first kickoff over and over and try to forget that after that it wasn't even a game.

I'm not even a Florida fan, but you can't ignore the fact that they're holding both titles right now and the last one they won as underdogs in a complete beating. There's just nothing you can really say to that.

Tough to say, they didn't play this year. I thought the same thing until Ohio State laid an egg.

Which reminds us all of how much of a cupcake schedule the big 10 had this year.

[stallion4]

Fuckin cable/internet was out at my house last night so I couldn't get on here to get my ass ripped apart lol. That was completely embarrassing and a huge disappointment. OSU played with no fire, no intensity, and no passion and even if they had ANY of those things they would have still gotten buried. They looked like garbage and Florida looked like they could have taken on an all star team picked from the best throughout the rest of the country. Very impressive performance by Urban and the gators. Total dominance and very disappointing. I'll make no excuses and point no fingers. That was just a terrible game and I've never seen Tressel coach so badly and get outcoached so easily. Mad props to Urban and the team.

[stallion4]

Dude..gimme a break!!! DID YOU SEE OHIO STATE'S SCHEDULE NEXT YEAR? YSU (tressel giving his old squad a nice check), kent state, washington, AKRON!

That's big time. lol Good thing they got USC the FOLLOWING year. Christ...

[stallion4]

On the other side of things..Has anyone heard/read about Tebow? Was he recruited for what he did this year or can he actually throw the ball in that offense? He'll be a sick weapon with Urban's mind and that talent...but if he can't throw respectably..I hope they got a big recruit..which I'm sure they do.

He is what he is... and fills the role nicely. I don't expect that role to change and especially since UF has the number 1 QB commit for next year. As long as Meyer is at the reign's I'd expect a lot more of the same.

Tebow does have a decent arm when they let him use it BUT i don't know how he will hold up playing 4 full quarters

[Sean of the Thread]

He's great in the sense that he averages 5.7 yards a carry rushing.. when he is under center the team has to set up for the option/run... but then he has the talent to 3 step and throw for the TD.. because there are 2 defenders spying the qb rush that left the WR wide open.

Very good job.

Urban definately got 110% productivity out of him this year. Was just curious to see if he was a 4 quarter QB but just not as good as Leak right now.

[Sean of the Thread]

Nobody is #1 until they prove it I guess... but Brantley is considered one of the top bluechips.

[Sean of the Thread]

Trinity Catholic (Ocala, Fla.) senior quarterback John Brantley de-committed from Texas yesterday for Florida. The 6-foot-3, 198-pounder is rated the nation's No. 2 quarterback and No. 16 overall recruit in the Class of 2007 by RISE. He was named Gatorade 2006-07 National Football Player of the Year this season.

Brantley went 27-1 as a starter at Trinity Catholic and set the state record for career touchdown passes with 99, breaking the previous mark of 98 set by current Florida quarterback Tim Tebow and current Florida State quarterback Xavier Lee. Brantley also completed 61.5 percent of his passes during his career for 6,802 yards.

[stallion4]

I was just going by what every magazine, article, analyst, website, and sports talk show says. Clausen is #1..but I'm willing to bet the kid going to Florida is a stud as well. If they're both blue chips..the difference will be seen in the future. Just going by what is out there NOW.

[stallion4]

Ok..so he's not #1..

[stallion4]

Oh..and LOL at Texas. heh

[Sean of the Thread]

Hehe well he was #1 at some time but the difference between 1 and 2 is really moot at this point.

ANYWAYS.. Florida has teh #2 commit in the nation and FUCK TEXAS.

Not to mention the kid going to ND is going to have scraps to walk into..Florida still has a boatload of talent if this kid steps in as the QB and Tebow keeps his role or something similar to it.

[Sean of the Thread]

ND needs to join a fucking a conference already.

Word is Charlie's havin a conference and firing all the defensive coaches..I think they said tomorrow? I can't recall exactly.
