Florida vs. Oklahoma for the BCS National Championship
After Florida knocked off the previous #1 team in the nation,
Alabama, in the SEC Championship, they had their sights set on a National Championship. Their wish was granted,
untilafter Sunday's final release of the BCS standings, which had them slated as the #2 spot in the nation, and would face of newly crowned #1 Oklahoma. The game will be played on January 8th, at Dolphin Stadium in Miami,FL. This game will feature two of the best offensive teams in the nation, Oklahoma who is first, and Florida who is third in scoring. The difference between the team though based on statistics should be on the defensive side of the ball, where Florida ranks fifth in scoring defense and Oklahoma is 57th. Oklahoma's coach Bob Stoops said,"We've had better defensive years, I'm fully aware of that. But in the end, some of it has been geared to the style we've decided to play on offense, snapping the ball as quick as we can." On a more specific level, the game will feature arguably the top two quarterbacks in the nation. The 2007 Heisman Trophy winner, Tim Tebow, will man the show for the Florida offense, while the front-runner for this year's award, Sam Bradford, will line up behind the center for the Sooners. As you can see there is a lot of anticipation going into this year's national championship game, and I have a feeling it will be a close game due to both teams high octane offenses. Only time will tell this year's #1 team in the nation, and that will be revealed on January 8th in Miami.
