    I just think this game will be owned by the fla defense.   they are an extremely fast athletic group.  they are also playing as a cohesive unit wwhen it matters.  on the offensive side i think floridas o line dominates the trenches and lets tebow and boys run all over the place.  in turn this is gonna open up the passing game on a mediocre oklahoma secondary.  FLA medium play

    Some great insight on these threads.  i love coming in here and reading all the posts and the passion behind them  GL all

    If there was any doubt Florida would win this game, it was dispelled tonight.  The Big 12 is over rated, it has been apparent all bowl season as Texas just barely pulls out a win over OSU from the Big 10.  

    Florida has the better D, this is known, it will limit the offense of Oklahoma...

    FLORIDA WINS THIS BIG.  No question about it.  I'll gladly retire (for this season) if Florida loses this game.

    Bring on USC/FLORIDA. I could only wish.

    Even though Texas is better than both of the teams, I lean toward OU to finally win a bowl game here...I think their offense will put up enough points to win. Good Luck.

    Blk, what is your reasoning for that if I may ask? Just would like some insight, not hatin.Bol to us all

    I am not sure what you are asking me about? Why Texas is better than both of them, in my opinion, or why Okla will score enough to win? If you clarify, I will be happy to explain in detail.

    FL will manhandle OU. Bradford will get a good taste of the FL D all night long...they are the real deal. FLs OL will wear out OUs DL by the 3rd Qtr and then it will be all down hill. I watch SEC all year and they have fallen off a bit but are still the best thing going from top to bottom. FL -3 large. Under small due to everyone and their mother taking over. Best of luck to all.

    Best of Luck on what you choose to do BigDaddy, IMO the big 12 is very over rated as shown in this bowl season. I got Florida -3 and the spread is now -4. 73 pts is  lot in my opinion and you probably won't hit it till late in the 4th if you do. Again Good Luck  

    Florida -3

    Florida -3

     good luck to you as well my friend.

    I can't believe it myself that the season is almost over and it seems like it just started. After the seasons done it will be another 8 months or so until I get back on here.

    Let's make the most of it my brother and pound some cash on these final games

    I basically like the over in this one being that both teams are out to prove who's better. The smack talk has already begun with both teams and I have a feeling this will be a good old shootout.

    Florida has the edge on special teams and should give Tebow & Co. good field position. The OU defense had problems against Texas with Colt's mobility and see them having bigger problems with Tebow's mobility in this one. If OU does stop the running game Florida has a lot of weapons running down the sidelines.

    Okalahoma has been just blowing away their opponents as of late. Although it seems as though OU has played weaker defenses being from the Big 12 I feel they can find ways to score against this Florida defense. I always worry about a good fast defense it seems as though they always get burned for big plays at least a handful of times in games.

    That's basically why I'm leaning on the over.

    Good luck my friend

    Bigdaddy, I agree 100% of the sadness that will hit on Friday, and I too will disappear until late August after this game.  I was surprised to see you not taking a side on this one as it looks verey compelling from my anlysis.  I thried to save you on last year's Sugar Bowl in the UGA/Hawaii game.  This one will not be that one-sided, Florida will use their starters until the last few minutes.  My New Year's gift to you would be to ask you relook this one.  Bet Florida BIGGGG, and end the year with a comfortable victory.
     
    No SEC team has EVER lost a BCS finale, and this one has mismatch all over it.  At first I thought this would be a 4-7 point game for UF, and that would make that a one play, small bet for me.  Now I think it is a 2-3 TD game and a Ten unit play for me.  My view switched when Oklahoma lost Murray as a RB and a DT, and Bradford had surgery on his hand.  Then came the bowl matchups with the Big 12.  What made OU look competitive was the media halo over the Big 12 as they played each other.  Facing no defenses they looked powerful enough to outscore, or hang with anyone, despite having weak defenses.
     
    In the bowls, Oklahoma State goes down to an Oregon team that lost at home to Boise State, Texas Tech gets drilled by Old Miss, Mizzou has to go to overtime to beat Northwestern,  These were OU's best wins unless you count Cincy who should have lost to Hawaii.  Now their one loss, Texas struggled and was fortunate to win in the last seconds to Ohio State who not only lost to every decent team it played this year, they haven't beaten a quality opponent in three years.  In other words, OU has a lot of sizzle by runningup the score against weak defenses, but there is no proof they can prevail against a solid defense like Florida has.
     
    Now add the problems OU will have stopping  the balance of a UF attack that can beat you with the pass, the run, or through Special Teams.  Harvin is healthy, and Tebow is motivated to prove he should have won the Heisman.  It was Big 12 country where he was left totally off their ballots.  This guy is a warrior, and he doesn't lose focus or hang out late at night.  The last BCS game Florida won was with Leak as the QB, so he wants one of his own.
     
    The reason I am not sure about the over is if UF gets a lead early, they may try to slow the game down to keep the OU offense off the field.  I also feel Meyer thinks he can out physical Oklahoma and wants to wear them down.  Just thinking he would rather drive it methodically and not resort to hurry up offense.  With the new clock rules it is easy to limit the number of possessions  the other team gets.  Turnovers and STs could make the score inflate though.  I feel the over and the under are riskier bets than taking UF.  Whatever you decide, good luck and have a great Spring and Summer.  I am playing with house money and am letting all my winnings ride on this one.  Florida----big.

    I have waited the whole bowl season before betting this game and damn I wish I had bet it earlier when Florida was only giving 2 1/2!!
     
    The Big 12 is overrated and has NO defense.  Anyone see how Ole Miss had their way against TT??  Yes, Ole Miss has the same style as most of the Big 12-all offense and lets outscore the other guys.  Then I watched OSU give Texas all they could handle and Texas beat OU??!!!  Sure Kansas handled Minn easily as expected but the SEC stepped it up in '09 with the exception of lowly SC and ALA sleep walking through the first quarter.  Florida is MUCH better than OU on defense and this will show early and often.  Bradford will get harrassed and will have interceptions.  UF will play control, unless OU can't tackle Harvin. 
    Heavy lean on FL at -4 and a lighter play on the under.  Taking FL heavy in 1st Q and half as was the play all season with them.
     
    Too bad it is coming to an end.  Who would not have wanted to see FL play USC, or even Utah play Texas???

    Seriously people do you think UTAH is that great? Perhaps the SEC is a lot weaker than everyone thinks because Utah PISSPOUNDED Alabama which was the #1 SEC team and national ranked team for most of the season.

    All this BS about the Big XII being overrated is laughable. I would put Texas and Oklahoma up against any other conferences 1 & 2 any day, tell me who is better...Go ahead and say Florida and Bama or Georgia, but you know damn well that isn't the case.

    I have a lot of respect for most of the cappers on this site and lord knows most of them are much better than me but I can't grasp all of this Florida will smash OU because the Big XII is overrated....

    Perhaps Florida will smash OU but my money says different, I hope I am right. Anyway, best of luck whichever you choose.

     Oklahoma always shits the bed(WVU,BOISE) and the SEC has NEVER lost a BCS title game. The BIG 12 is overrated and the SEC is underrated this year!! Fla is easy $$!! An average OSU takes Texas(beat Oklahoma) to the limit, a shitty NWU takes Missou to OT, Ole Miss crushes TT, and Oregon beats Okie ST!! Don't over think this game!! FLORIDA BIG!! Oklahoma has never seen a D like this!!         Fla-44  OK-17

    The Big 12 is starting to show that they are not as good as what they were presumed to be.  What good teams has the Big 12 beaten out of conference?  OU beat TCU, and Texas smeared Arkansas early in the year when Petrino was still getting his team on track.  Other than that, the only quality teams they have beaten is themselves.  OkSt kept up with OU most of the game and barely lost to Texas.  I expected them to whip Oregen but they got beat.  You could make the case that Bryant was hurt but they still should have won that game.  Everyone and their mom expected Tech to score a million points against Ole Miss, but Miss spanked that ass.  Texas was supposed to walk all over OhioSt, but they BARELY beat them.  The SEC is having a down year as well, and didn't play any quality opponents either.  But they aren't stinking it up in the bowls.  Sam Bradford and OU set all kinds of records this year, but don't you think UF would have done the same thing against those shitty Big12 defenses?  OU's defense is fair at best.  If teams like Kansas, KSt, Nebraska, and Tex A&M can put up 28+ points a game, how many you think Florida is gonna score on them?  Florida has so much speed on offense its sick.  They will probably put up at least 40 points on OU.  And OU hasn't played a defense anywhere near UF's yet.  Other than the game they lost to Ole Miss, Florida hasn't given up more than 21 points ALL YEAR.  I will be shocked if OU wins this game, and mildly surprised if Florida doesn't win by at least 2 TDs.

    You hit the nail on the head!  Perfect reasoning as to why the smart money here is on the OU moneyline...I hope FLA goes to -5 by kickoff!  Sam Bradford and the entire OU team is a well oiled machine!  Props to FLA as they are definately deserving to be in this game as well, but after watching both play several games this season, my money is on OU and to win straight up.  The no huddle speed offense that OU runs and they have the same speed on defense will both give FLA fits.  FLA has played no one this year like what OU will bring to the field. 

    2 units on OU ML and 2 units on the over!  GL All!

    Perhaps Florida will smash OU but my money says different, I hope I am right. Anyway, best of luck whichever you choose.

    You hit the nail on the head!  Perfect reasoning as to why the smart money here is on the OU moneyline...I hope FLA goes to -5 by kickoff!  Sam Bradford and the entire OU team is a well oiled machine!  Props to FLA as they are definately deserving to be in this game as well, but after watching both play several games this season, my money is on OU and to win straight up.  The no huddle speed offense that OU runs and they have the same speed on defense will both give FLA fits.  FLA has played no one this year like what OU will bring to the field. 

    2 units on OU ML and 2 units on the over!  GL All!

    Seeing the line up to 4 I have learned that whenever a player is hurt (such as last week with Thomlinson ) the team that is at a disadvatage seems to usually pull it out spreadwise...(I can exemplify the night I went into the sportsbook at midnight before the Seahawks/pats game and the spread shot up bigtime with the  FEAR of Hasselbeck not playing....the pats won that but didnt cover the 8 it went off at game time from 4 a few days earlier) ....so I guess you all have your minds made up who the best team is but just wanted to let  you know what I have seen....Chargers didnt need thomlinson...Seattle didnt buckle without Hasselbeck...and I dont think Oaklahoma is going to lose just because one runner is out....the may lose as a team but not solely for his absence....so I will watch the public keep that number rising out of fear...tisk tisk..never bet on emotion!
