BCS Championship Monday, January 8th

BCS Championship Game , Glendale, Arizona
Florida vs. Ohio State, 8:00 EST

Florida:
1-6 ATS off a combined score of 60+ points
8-1 Under vs. non-conference opponents

Ohio State:
8-2 ATS off a home conference win
16-6 ATS as a favorite

Anything can happen in one game, but Ohio State was clearly best team in country this season, so much so that the race for #2 actually became intriguing. Despite replacing nine seniors on defense from LY's team, Buckeyes beat Texas in Austin, beat Michigan, and won only two games all season by less than 17 pts (they were 9-3 vs. spread, despite being double digit favorite in nine games). If I had vote for #1 in final poll, I might vote for Ohio State even if they lose this game.

Jim Tressel has won five national titles, four at the I-AA level, so you know he's terrific in spots like this; not only does he have the best team, he has a senior QB Urban Meyer won and covered his bowl game the last three years; they have senior QB in Leak, and have odd system of putting in frosh QB Tebow, a better runner, when they have short yardage situations. Anyone who wins the SEC is a worthy opponent, but Florida eeked out wins to get to this point. Ohio State crushed people (except for Michigan, Illinois) to get here.

Ohio State is playing an Arizona bowl for fourth time in last five years, having won Fiesta Bowl in '02.'03 and '05; under Tressel, they've become dominant big game team. With QB Smith trying to ride off in blaze of glory, its hard to envision Ohio St losing this game.

I like the Buckeyes to win the national title and also cover.
