Florida finishes No. 1 in a landslide in final college polls

"Florida didn't have to lobby to win this vote. The Gators are No. 1 in a landslide.

For unbeaten Boise State, a top-10 ranking will have to do.

The Gators finished atop The Associated Press and USA Today Coaches' Top 25 polls after upsetting Ohio State 41-14 in the BCS Championship Game Monday night, a matchup Florida lobbied hard for late in the regular season when it looked as if the Gators would be left out.

The Buckeyes had been No. 1 since August and were looking to become the third team to hold the top spot in the media poll from preseason through the bowls. Florida State was the first in 1999 and Southern California did it in 2004.

Instead, Ohio State finished No. 2. LSU was third, and Southern California and Boise State rounded out the top five in the AP poll. Wisconsin received the No. 5 ranking in the USA Today poll and Boise State was No. 6.

Florida received all but one of the 65 first-place AP votes. Boise State (13-0) got the other from Greg Archuleta of the Albuquerque Journal in New Mexico."

1. Boise should have been number 3....

I can't see why USC deserved to be ranked ahead of them. Boise beat the crap out of Oregon State this season, and Oregon State beat USC.

2. Ohio State is lucky to be number 2 after that debacle

3. Boise State

Boise State should have been number 2. They were the only undefeated team. Although Florida proved they deserved to be in the title game Boise State should have been in the game. However, Congrats to the Gators.
