Inspired 13-12 neutral site performance by Texas. For the second straight year I'll watch every bowl except the national championship game.
Congrats Alabama.

I think Colt McCoy also lost the Heisman Trophy tonight (good for him though as Ingram will likely win it now) in a horrific performance capped by the most ignorant job of clock management this side of an NFL game. If that play lasts 1 second longer and you lose with a timeout to spare--Mack Brown should've been Bowden-ened.
As for Tebow---I can see getting emotional if you lose a close game--but GROW UP. The Gators got RUN off the field and this defense Hifi touted all year looked like a bunch of female lower parts. That is what should happen when you dont' play anyone all year--as Texas will likely find out in the Rose Bowl.
All kickers who kick the ball out of bounds on a kickoff should be tied to a goalpost and left to find their own way home.
All holders who drop a snap on a PAT should be exiled to Pittsburgh...oh nevermind.
Charlie Weis best parting words came after the loss to USC this year "WE'VE CLOSED THE GAP". Yeah--but did he also know this USC team would be 8-4?? That is why he's gone.
Got my Pac 10 losses right after the Washington game for USC minus Stanford whose defense I didn't trust--but had Oregon and Arizona down. Carroll's gotten to the point he thinks he's above having a good coaching staff and he doesn't have the talent he thinks he does. Still think highly of Matt Barkley as a true FR--but don't really like any WR outside of Damien Williams and his LB group sucks right now--which is to be expected after losing the 4 guys he did to NFL.
Best player in the country is a boy named SUH!!!

I see GIGA is still angry that Texas still has Penn State's national championship. Give it up dude, we're never giving it back. Where did all that recent positivity go?
The 'Huskers gave the Tide a great blueprint for beating the hell out of the Longhorns in Pasadena. I will be watching, but I'm afraid GIGA's prediction of a one-sided Alabama win will prove accurate.

If the pollsters have any guts, TCU will play in the "championship" game. Even though I want the BCS to burn down and sink into the swamp, that's not the point. Between Texas, Cincy, Boise State and TCU, TCU wins the beauty contest. If they refuse to have a playoff, then just follow the system they actually have and reward the most impressive team. Sure, it'll never happen, but....

BUT...Alabama is as good as Nebraska defensively and ridiculously better offensively. Come on here, even you know Mack is bringing a knife to a gun fight. You were dying for Florida to pull it off and you'd have a chance. But now, it's over.

Is anyone else as upset as i am about Suh being a senior. to see him play another year with what can only be a better Nebraska offense (could you find a major team with one worse? that's a rhetorical question). That Suh can play defense like nobody's business. The play by play guy tonight got it right, not in a very long time, if ever has a defensive tackle taken over a game like Suh did tonight. While I have always thought high draft picks are better spent on linemen and tackles over RBs and WRs (aka divas) i think this is especially the case this year

I will be watching, but I'm afraid GIGA's prediction of a one-sided Alabama win will prove accurate. Sadly Austin--it was Brent Venables who gave the country the blueprint to stopping Texas--and Pelini just followed suit. Just make Colt McCoy attempt to read a defense and he's lost as can be. Nice kid--and know he's got the "most wins....." but he's not a kid I'd even bother selecting in ANY round of the NFL Draft and it shows when you disguise/give him various looks. Nobody likes to take a hit--but he is about as gunshy as they come when you get people around him/in his face. Backfoot throws, throwing and ducking, and really has hurt them that Big XII is so awful this year. Down year for the league--but if Nebraska had a moderate offensive attack--they'd have won by 2 TD's tonight. How #22 for Nebraska is playing for a Division One program is a mystery? That is a D-3 caliber player. Bama is best team I've seen in a mediocre year for CFB--but Texas plays well at Rose Bowl, so maybe they keep the Pasadena Magic alive. I'd take Tide by 17 right now based on what I've seen--but that's why you play the game.

Best player in the country is a boy named SUH!!! Yeah I was saying that all night myself. I wonder how long it will take Bo Pelini to smile after that game. Nebraska seems to be almost back. They did the same junk at Va Tech. I think they had 15 in that games, all off of Henry's foot.

I was torn last night whether to root for the Texas kicker to make the kick or not. I wanted a scenario that embarrassed the BCS and created the most controversy. I thought that would be if Texas won, because then there would be 5 undefeated teams, and TCU, Cincinnati, and Boise State could all raise a stink about how they deserve to be playing for a National Championship. However, I now think if Texas had missed the kick and lost to Nebraska, it really would have thrown the BCS into chaos. Oh well. Good article below. sports.espn.go.com/ncf/columns/story?columnist=wojciechowski_gene&id=4718287

Is this where I come to laugh at Hifi? I feel you, son! He's probably gathering himself right now. When he gets up off the turf, we're in for some interesting comment.

Is this where I come to laugh at Hifi? I feel you, son! He's probably gathering himself right now. When he gets up off the turf, we're in for some interesting comment. Guys--you should know by now--it's going to be a story about him being in Atlanta.....and sitting near Tebow's dad who gave him a blumpkin, and then ........it's the SAME STORY. When UF wins---Hifi arrives ASAP and when they lose--especially with the "defense nobody will score upon" getting trounced--it's going to be a shock to the system. BTW--the "Best College Football Player in History" does NOT lose 6 games in his career--let alone in 3 years as a Starting QB. Media always forgets to mention that Chris Leak started Tebow's FR season--but why have FACTS get in way of hero worshipping? It's also proof that Percy Harvin was far more vital to Florida's championship teams then Tebow. He did the same rah-rah bull***T as last year--and result was a Bama TD and a poorly thrown INT. Leadership is helluva lot more then yelling on sidelines at teammates so camera can see it. ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png)

Hifi locked himself in a hot box. Or checked himself into the hospital like Urban Meyer did for "dehydration".

Why does Tebow continue to wear his eye black during the press conference? Is he still wearing it now? Will he continue to wear it while he sits on an NFL bench? These are questions that must be answered

I'd take Tide by 17 right now based on what I've seen--but that's why you play the game. Fair enough on the Venables point. At this point in the season, it's really frustrating as a fan to have not played quality opponents, because so many questions are still unanswered. Or you find out that something is definitively true (like Texas' QB won't stand in the pocket and complete a pass with a guy like Terrence Cody busting through the O-line), but it's too late to re-scheme and fix the problem. I'm not sure Greg Davis has the ability to make any of the necessary adjustments after last night's playcalling at any rate. The problem is, the BCS encourages schedules of the sort Texas and Florida played this season. Even Alabama didn't play anyone great after Va. Tech (though nobody can admit this year was a down/top-heavy year for the SEC). The Cornhuskers should get a Cotton Bowl bid. If Oklahoma State heads to Dallas instead, I'll follow GIGA's lead and boycott that particular broadcast. GIGA, you're absolutely right that I'm scared to death of Alabama. I don't want to concede defeat yet, when kickoff is over a month away. I'll mainly be keeping my mouth shut WRT the MNC game until then.

Why the hating on Tebow? He seems like a good kid and a heck of a gamer. Love his running. Not even close to being the best ever, but no one is seriously arguing that.
I have a hard time rooting for anyone named "Colt" or state schools from red states (it's not the kids but their fan bases), but that's just me. I do like Boise and Cincy, though.

No one is seriously arguing that? There's been several stories and tons of talk radio trumpeting him as the best ever. People hate Tebow because of the media attention. And because the media makes him out to be some kind of saint. They've done that with tons of athletes, and most of the time, it isn't true.
