Gotta issue a warning post Florida over Oklahoma. Been hearing many of you including the co-host of our 'other' local program. This logic that USC would definitely have beaten either the Gators or Sooners is ridiculous. I'm not saying the Trojans WOULDN'T, but doesn't this kind of assumption make you as guilty as the national knuckleheads who matter of factly state the Big 12 or SEC is superior to the Pac 10? There is no way of knowing who would win this type of game which is why we need a playoff. The idea of actually having knowledge and paying attention to the lay of the land is not joining up with the annoying members of Conclusion Jumpers Annonymous. Oklahoma has become that team who does everything right during the regular season then falls on their face in the major bowl. They had a real chance to gain an upper hand last night but failed to capitalize after moving the ball to midfield on their 1st couple of drives then even worse on back to back goal to go situations. Then in the 3rd quarter, a horrible call on 3rd & 1 lost yardage as they'd gotten to the edge of the Gator red zone led to a blocked field goal. It's not like Florida took it to them, they just executed better when it mattered and Tim Tebow is the ultimate gamer. Florida piled up nearly 500 yards but could not translate that into points as Tebow threw a pair of uncharacteristic picks in Sooner territory to kill opportunities. Once again the season proved that parity exists and the system is designed to pit the #1 versus the #2 in their BCS title game, but not necessarily determine who the best team in America is!
Congrats to Blake for winning our National Championship game contest. Too many rode Oklahoma and Blake's total score won out.
Today on Sportstalk I'd like to get your top 5 as well as thoughts on Oregon hoops and this weekend's NFL playoffs.

This may be old news, Steve, but I was cruising around ESPN.com and came across a page that indicates that UO's own President Frohnmayer is the chair of the BCS Presidential Oversight Committee.
"We deeply respect the president-elect and we are glad that he is a fan of college football," Frohnmayer said in an e-mail response to ESPN Tuesday. "We have the most compelling regular season in all of sports, and I'm sure that contributes to Senator Obama's enjoyment of our great game."
It appears that Frohnmayer is somehow part of the "club" that is keeping us from the playoff scenario. I was surprised to see this and hadn't heard you mention it before.
