The Florida Gators got it done last night as they dismantled the powerful Oklahoma offense en route to their second national championship over the last three years. It was a good game... not a great game. In the end its hard to believe that a game can live up to USC Texas from a few...

This time Texas was on the receiving end of some late game heroics.
After having their title hopes ended by Michael Crabtree and Texas Tech
two months ago the Longhorns returned the favor to Ohio State. The
Buckeyes looked like they were going to end their BCS drought but Colt

Pretty much from the start the Utah Utes controlled this year's Sugar
Bowl against Alabama. They become the first non-BCS team to win two BCS
bowls and have a legitimate case for a national championship berth but

hiccup prevented them from reaching their true potential. But after

Taylor Mays is a freak. 6-3 230 pounds of pure metal. This is a hit from today's Rose Bowl. While he was flagged for helmet to helmet its fun to watch him kill a man.

Look I understand the guy had hip surgery recently and is 80+ but when
you spend the game in the press box and can't even talk to your team at
halftime I think you have to start really wondering what the hell JoePa
is doing at Penn State.

The Emerald Bowl is on ESPN right now and Jahvid Best is tearing it up. With 6 minutes left in the 2nd quarter he already has 106 yards rushing and two touchdowns. This could get out of hand. We see where he finishes up in the morning.
