So here’s an interesting thought. Had Nebraska beaten Texas, who should have played Bama in the Championship Game, knowing what we know now? Should Texas still have played, or even should have Florida gotten another shot?
Florida is likely at least as good as Alabama. If played again, the game could go either way—Tebow is one of the best and a very likeable guy. Nebraska barely slipped past a couple of mediocre teams but I commend them for handing Arizona their head on a platter. The PAC 10 has taken a steep dive into a fair conference at best.
I think the computers would have had Alabama play Cincinatti and and they would have Destroyed them), TCU or Boise State would have played Florida and got beat(no contest), And TCU or Boise State would have gotten beaten by a totally PO'd Texas team.
Alabama 1, Florida 2 Texas 3 Cincy/TCU/BS fighting for 4th.
Right now, unless Texas surprises the heck out of even their diehard fans, Alabama is #1 and not "co national champs" with Boise St, like in pre-BCS 1997 with Michigan/Nebraska where Nebraska destroyed a real team with Peyton manning as QB in their bowl game and Michigan beat a 1 loss Pac-10 team in their bowl.
If Texas pulls off an upset, or miracle of miracles, dismantles Alabama, Boise St has a better chance of being Co champs. Florida just looked too good and Texas didn't against NE... which is why we need a playoff. Who picks the bowl berths basically decides how a team is ranked.
If there was a Playoff system in Football, people would be like "March what?" about Basketball.
Nebraska almost did beat Texas, didn’t they? Texas barely pulled that one off. Yes, Florida should have been given the 2nd shot if Texas had lost. They are probably the better team. It should have been Alabama/Florida in the Championship game IMO.
