Well, my friends, it's the last game of the college football season!   It's been a lot of fun, and I appreciate everyone on here! 
 
YTD
117-98-2
Regular season  88-70-2 
Bowls  29-28  (ATS-Totals-Teasers)
 
For the championship....
 
Oklahoma  +5
Under 69.5
 
I think this will be who can stop who, but closer than most think.  I am partial to the Big 12, but I think all conferences have been skewed.  ACC started strong, and ended 4-6 in bowl games.  Big Ten are 0-6, SEC is 5-2, Big 12 4-2 and Pac 10 are surprisingly 5-0!  Who knew??  Anyway, FL getting a bunch of love here, and quite honestly, I don't think they are that much better.  Sure, they have speed, but OU can and will compete.  Florida's defense ranked higher in a "run offense" conference, OU's offense ranked higher in a "pass happy offense".  But, how do you really compare the two and have FL that much better than OU??  Ole Miss beat Florida and then Texas Tech who beat Texas who beat OU, who also beat Texas Tech worse than Ole Miss!!   
 
35-31 one way or the other 
 
GL to everyone, and see you fellas around!!

UGA had a nice balanced offense this year. UF held the projected #1 QB in next year's draft to 10 points. Just something to think about when you back this year's Heisman winner.

On the UNDER! and I like the Sooners too...just cant play it.........WHY? bc of JED BUSH.  I vow not to bet against any team associated with G.W. BUSH that is located in the state of Florida or Texas.  I personally will only bet with these teams not against them but GL

Thx fellas!  GL to everyone!

 

To everyone saying this is the best defense OU has faced all year, let's not forget about TCU!  TCU's defense is statistically better than Florida's.  TCU held Utah to a close game on the road, 13-10.  Utah played Bama's offense as well if not better than FL.  OU was able to put 35 on TCU!  TCU's overall is ranked #1 & #2 in all categories except passing, where they were #12.  Not too shabby!

If you did not bet yet, wait till game time if you like Okl, why? cause the line will continue to climb. I am debating middling here, Why Not? GL Pal
