It was the end of Monday night's BCS Championship party and we still weren't having Fun Bunch yet.
Oh, you remember the Fun Bunch, a four-pack of Ohio State Buckeyes that colluded to put 42 points on Michigan and at least 35 on nine of their 12 ruthlessly-whacked opponents.
Well, after weeks of mind-numbing analysis, we now know the Fun Bunch was no match for the Run Bunch. Yeah, the Run Bunch checks in as a collection of speed freaks from Florida coached by Urban Meyer and, at 41-14, better on title night than the long-running favorite.

Go Gators!!!
The SEC is THE premier conference and there is no getting around it......as much as some want to.
If the game were really for the "national championship", shouldn't Boise State have played?????? The BCS is a joke.
After last night, I think a playoff system should be considered.
Is it possible that some of the SEC fans are even MORE annoying than the PAC 10 fans of the last 2 years?
The Gators were playing Texas Tech's spread pass-based offense. They didn't use the long bomb, but who needs to when you can make 13-yarders consistently. I hope the writers will stop looking down their noses at Leach's "system", now that we are seeing it crop up in other places.
LOL. They could have played, but I'm afraid they would have lost by 60 pts.
UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG-LEE!!!!
Bowling Green could have beat Ohio last night. ANY Bowling Green!!!
A playoff system is definitely needed. I'd bet a month's pay that Boise State would have gotten smacked around in the second round.
Based on the last seven weeks of the season I'd guess Florida vs. LSU for the national championship.
Experts know NOTHING!
Yeah, but if LSU won, everybody would have insisted that they 'share' the National Championship with Florida State.
LOL, true enough.
The OSU defense played very conservative all night. No pressure on the Florida QBs at all, usually rushing only 3 or 4 linemen. Very surprised by that scheme.
O-line was manhandled by the Florida defensive front. Troy Smith never had a chance. I also thought the Buckeyes gave up too soon on the running game. The series in the 2nd quarter where they threw three straight passes and went three and out was a surprise, because the Buckeyes had just scored on the Gators with the running game.
Tressel was outcoached from start to finish. The injury to Ginn hurt the offense more than I would have expected it to. Huge disappointment. Now, winter really begins.
Take that statement, frame it, hang it on your wall, use it again next year, and the next, and the next, and the next..................
I'm normally a Big 10 fan, but I'm sick of all the Ohio State hype. This game does prove the superiority of the SEC and also shuts up all those people who clamored for a repeat of OSU vs. Michigan in the BCS Championship. To have left Florida out of it would have been a crime.
Looking on the bright side, the OSU Band rocks. At least the band appeared juiced to be there.
I think Boise State would've made a more entertaining game of it.
I have to agree with you. After a month of hearing that the Gators should not have been playing for the title (mainly from UM fans who are now quiet) it appears that maybe it was Ohio State that should not have been playing for the title. I am not even sure Ohio would have beaten LSU, Arkansas or Auburn.
Boise State went undefeated and looked good, but when you need multiple trick plays to win it is not a convincing win. I'm very happy the Gators won the title, but acknowledge that it is mostly a beauty pageant when you are trying to compare teams that don't play head-to-head.
