Can Florida beat Ohio State for the Nat'l Championship?
I'd like to think, after Michigan's performance (ha!) in the Rose Bowl, that just maybe the Big Ten is a bit overrated. Everybody knows the SEC is the toughest conference in the country. What about it? Can Florida upset the presumptive national champs?

1. Can they? Yes. Will they?
If I knew that, I wouldn't have anything to do tonight. :)

6. Not a chance, no.
Ohio State siginificantly above the next-best team, which usn't even Florida.

28. Never seen anything like it.
This is the second year in a row where I'd have lost a fortune if I were a betting man - but at least last year's game was good. I shut off last night's game at halftime and went to sleep with no illusions as to who was going to win; I have NEVER seen a favorite fall that flat.

8. one can only hope. I want to destroy Boners day.
Not a Florida fan by any stretch, but Ohio State wins the most obnoxious award for sure.

12. Not a chance
It will be an argument over Ohio State and Boise State over who gets the title.

17. Nope
Even though I agree the SEC is tougher and has more parity at the top. Even though Michigan looked bad in the Rose Bowl and barely lost to OSU, I'd still be shocked if OSU lost to Florida. Ohio St. is head and shoulders above the rest of the Big Ten in football, even Michigan, since Tressel arrived in Columbus.

21. This game is NUTS!
Im love love loving it.

My Raiders have the first pick and I wanted nothing to do with shrimpy Troy Smith or blah Brady Quinn and thankfully they have both been exposed in their bowl games. And JaMarcus Russell blew everyones minds.. w00t
