BCS National Championship Game

No. 2 Florida vs. No. 1 Oklahoma are meeting at Dolphin Stadium in Miami, FL to square off for the National Championship Game. In the past few seasons this game has been very one sided, but tonight’s game might turn out to be as classic as the Rose Bowl game from a few years ago with Reggie Bush and Vince Young.

Florida is heading into this game as 4 point favorites. The Gators went 12-1 in the regular season, only losing to Mississippi 31-30 back in September. The Sooners also went 12-1, but their loss came from Texas, a team ranked no.5, which is why Oklahoma is considered no.1 in the BCS standings.

Personally I would love to see a playoff system installed into the college game. There are people that will disagree with me, but until the Fiesta Bowl, I haven’t seen a bowl game all year worth any sort of excitement. USC destroyed Penn State, the score did not reflect how bad that game was, and with 3-4 new Bowl games created each year for teams with 6-6 or 7-5 seasons, I have just started to lose interest in all but the final 3 BCS  games.

Tonight’s game has a ton of future NFL players, including both Quarterbacks: Tim Tebow and Sam Bradford. While both QB’s aren’t seniors yet, experts think they might both declare for this seasons NFL draft.

Here is an early list of underclassmen who have declared for the 2009 NFL Draft:
Rutgers WR Kenny Britt
Arizona OT Eben Britton
Connecticut RB Donald Brown
Arkansas TE Andrew Davie
Illinois CB Vontae Davis
Kansas State QB Josh Freeman
Iowa RB Shonn Greene
Auburn DT Sen’Derrick Marks
Stony Brook RB Brandon Mason
Southern Mississippi LB Gerald McRath
Vanderbilt CB D.J. Moore
South Carolina CB Captain Munnerlyn
North Carolina WR Hakeem Nicks
Miami (Fla.) S Anthony Reddick
Alabama OT Andre Smith

If we had to make a prediction for the game, Gridiron Experts would take Florida-4 to cover the spread 31-26
