**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?

It's over.

Florida vs. USC was the game everybody wanted to see and the BCS gave us BS.

Congrats to Florida. Great defense does it again.

Check your calendar, it’s 2009, not 2000.

And they still haven’t figured out how to vote after 8 years.

Some people have suggested a BSC plus one—
I suggest a BCS plus three-
I would like to see USC play Texas, Florida play Utah and the winners play for the Real National title—
What do you say? Can we get this set up? LOL...what a joke, the BCS sucks!

Not taking the points in the 1st half hurt.

That pick sapped anything OU may have had left to win.

The TO’s hurt OU. I hate to see Florida teams win at anything. Its the only southern state I don't like.

I beg your pardon?

It was FLORIDA that kept Albert Gore Jr. OUT of the White House!

Not an overly impressive game, but we’ll take it!

Long Live the Gator Nation!

This sucks. I am sick of UF. Was hoping OU would show up, but Stoops was his normal brilliant self.
I wouldn’t vote for Florida as #1 though.
Would put USC and Utah ahead of them.

Congrats to your guys too. They made it this far and your QB stole the Heisman from ours!

Now we’ll go for two. I think Harvin and Tebow will stick around—Spikes may go to the NFL.

Night all! Gotta get my son to bed after he savors the victory. It’s a RARE late night for a school night...

Sorry, we didn’t let the DUmocrats CHEAT enough to make it even close in this state. FL decided to go to a more inept system of casting ballots just to guarantee voter fraud will be deciding FL elections for another 20 years.

All in all, that was a pretty boring game, nothing really special.
Florida did what they had to do and deserved the win.
Congrats to the Gators and their fans—

We have reached the end of the college football season and your 2008 BCS National Champion is...

The University of Florida Gators. This is the 2nd BCS title for the Gators and the third consecutive title for the SEC. All for the Gators, stand up and holler, you are national champions, congratulations!

Yep, you did your usual; popping off early and nowhere to be found once the games are played. The Big 12 was a heartbeat away from an 0-4 skunking of your top 4 teams, 4 teams that all of you spent all year telling everybody about, how good they all were. You have zero position to say anything about another conference after this, yet another horrible showing by the Big 12. 5 BCS losses in a row for Oklahoma? BCS moratorium for those clowns, at least for three years.
