This is why it is such a shame that Florida didn’t get a bowl matchup against either TCU or BSU. It would have answered a lot of questons.

If either of those schools beat Florida, or even lost a close one in the final minutes, it would indicate that they could probably compete for the SEC title. If Florida beat them 51 - 7 it would show that they were pretenders who racked up glitzy records against inferior competition.

Yep I agree. BCS putting TCU v BSU didn’t answer any questions about the teams. Didn’t matter if TCU or BSU won, the questions would still be out there.

It would have loved to see BSU play Florida but it should have been Florida v TCU, BSU v Cincinnati imo.

TCU would have beat either Florida or Cincinnati imo. Not sure BSU would have beat Florida, but they would have beat Cincinnati.

That would have been a worst case scenario for the BCS...both non-bcs teams beating the bcs schools and that’s what they wanted to avoid and why they put BSU v TCU so only one of them could win, and not against BCS schools.

Well the team Florida did beat was one second away from playing for the National Championship.

I agree. Don't get me wrong...in their current strength they could likely hold their own in the SEC, but win a division and win the title game....eh...not so much.
