**The 2008-09 BCS National Championship Game Thread**

Posted on 01/08/2009 11:15:31 AM PST by GOP_Raider

We've reached the final game of the college football season. I know that we've had some arguments regarding who really should be the national champion (and due to my own bias I've tried to stay away from it). But anyway, somebody decided #'s 1 and 2 for this game a long time ago and here they are.

The BCS National Championship Game: Florida vs. Oklahoma (8:00 pm, FOX) The last two Heisman trophy winners take to the turf for the waterford crystal shaped football from Sears (or at least it used to be from Sears). Leading up to this game, we've heard about who really should be the top ranked team and I'll say this. One, possibly both of these two teams can end any argument tonight. We know the offensive playmakers by now. Tim Tebow. Sam Bradford. Jermaine Gresham. Lewis Murphy. Juaquin Iglesias. But will the defenses even matter tonight?

How many plays are the idiots at Fox going to come in late on this time around? I stopped counting at 5 during the Fiesta Bowl.

Who wants to bet that Utah wins the AP poll if this game is a dog (or even if not a dog)?

All I know is, this OSU Cowboy will be rooting long and hard for Bradford and company.

No bet. Utah will be #2 behind whoever wins tonight, dog game or not.

It depends on how many AP voters decide to lock in their #1 selection for the winner of the title game. I do know that the AP voter in my town isn’t voting the Utes #1 and he’s a U of U alum.

I wonder if anything happens to the coaches who refuse to vote for this game’s winner in violation of the agreement they signed.

No kidding. It was enough to make me miss Brent Musberger.

My favorite was when Texas got the ball back, down 21-17. The announcer said "That's plenty of time for Colt McCoy to drive this team into field goal range." DUH!

I’d like to see the Utes win the AP. Undefeated is Undefeated and they beat ‘Bama in what was basically a home game for the Tide. You can’t ask any more than that.

This is a big game for the Big 12. After the Texas win, if OU wins Big 12 haters are going to have to STFU. But, if history is any guide, OU is going to get smoked.

This Game is a joke. USC would be a 3-6 point favorite against either team.

Having said that Utah should get the AP #1
