Urban Meyer has been more successful against top quality opponents in his first two years at Florida than Jim Tressel was in his first two years at Ohio State.

Meyer is politicking for the championship game to show his players that he'll fight as hard for them off the field as they fight on the field for him.

That's smart coaching. It shows top down loyalty. It will help in recruting.

The great news for Florida is that with the demise of FSU and Miami, UF gets first crack at the best high school players in the state. The "State of Miami" is gone.
