Florida Gators win BCS title bowl

[Firefighter1219]

The University of Florida Gators just defeated the Ohio State University Buckeyes 41-14 to win the national title.

They are now the reigning champions of basketball and football for 2006.

GO GATORS!

GO Gators. Held OSU to under 100 yards of offense

If I remember correctly, Troy Smith was sacked 5 times. He sure did eat alot of salad last night. Just goes to show you what happens when a 'struggling' team with the #1 schedule plays against a 'perfect' team with the #43 schedule. The SEC speed that Ohio wasn't worried about just caused them to lose the game, along with Troy Smith playing like a peewee quarterback.

I wonder if a Heisman can be revoked and if they will wait until after the national championship game to name the next winner.

Last night the Gators became the first Division I school to hold football and basketball titles at the same time. And they may even win another basketball title this year.

GO GATORS!!!

Florida is crowned the National Champion but IMO the Boise State Broncos also have a claim to the title. Talk about schedules all you want, the Broncos were undefeated, beat the so called div 1 power, Oklahoma. The Broncos and the fans deserve a title shot. You finish unbeaten, you win a bowl game, you should get a shot.

Without the game, Florida is a paper champion!

The Gators are paper champions. Boise Broncos went unbeaten and IMO until the Gators play the Broncos, the so-called National title is tainted. The Broncos, the Gators and the fans deserve a game.

I agree, the entire BCS is nothing but a wastebasket full of paper champions. Last night's game proves that a D-1A playoff system is needed.

The playoff system would also show whether or not Boisie St. is the real deal, of which I don't think they are.
There is nothing like a single elimination playoff schedule to show if a team is truly the real deal.

I agree that the BCS sucks. First people say that Florida didn't deserve to play Ohio and that Michigan should have had a rematch. Then they said Ohio would dominate us. Now when we wipe our butts with Ohio people want to cry about Boise? We would own them too. How come no one cried about Boise earlier? Like an artcile I read a while ago said 'Florida is lucky to fall into the role of Ohio's whipping boy, right?' What about Louisville?

Their should be a playoff system, no doubt, but until they make one we are the champs fair and square. That's the way it goes. Remember how we won our first championship? We lost to FSU in the reqular season then played them for the title and won? How dumb is that? But that's the way they choose to do it. The BCS is a joke and from what we saw last night, so is the Heisman.

And if you want to complain about a paper champ, Ohio doesn't deserve the 2003 title. Miami was robbed.

I'll assume you mean 2002. Ohio that year beat Miami on the field not by a vote. Argue all you want, the Canes lost the game.

The 2007 vote wasn't unanimous, the Broncos deserve a shot. Let the title be decided on the field not in the boardroom.

I agree 100%!

I'm talking about when Miami should have had a touchdown and won the game but they didn't becuase the ref didn't call pass interference on Ohio. A bad call that cost them the game. The ESPN announcers doing the pre-game show Monday night even said the same thing.

Cry all you want about a bad call made or missed 5 years ago, it has nothing to do with what is being said. That game was won or lost because of a bad call, would you still be whining 5 years later if Miami won the game on a bad call.

The fact is the game was decided on the field not in the boardroom. Ohio may or may not have deserved to win but they did so on the field.

Maybe Florida vs Boise would be a whitewash but we won't know because they won't play the game. My guess is that Boise would gladly put up their undefeated record. Would Florida put up their title? I doubt it.

As it stands Florida has lost a game to Auburn but is the Champion. Boise has lost to no-one and is undefeated. Florida can take pride in knowing that they were given the title. Broncos can take pride in knowing that the beat every team they face and the voters can't vote that away from them.

LOL

I would have been mad if Miami would have won on a bad call too. I don't like them either.

It was decided who would play in the boardroom, then we decided who would win on the field and earned that title. Stop whining.

Chris Leak. What a beast.

One thing to keep in mind....This was not the OSU of 56 days ago. They DOMINATED the field in every game they played except 1. We will never find out but Id bet my paycheck on OSU 3 months ago....No questions asked

I will agree with you, being a ohio state fan, I truly don't think that ohio state should have been in that game with the way they played, I think some high school teams could've even beat them that night, that was a pathetic game. On a side note, I would also be a little ashamed about the turnout fla. had at the game, when they gave out the trophy there was almost no one in the stands to watch them receive it.
