The National Championship: Oklahoma vs. Florida

What we have all been waiting for. Oklahoma vs. Florida, Bradford vs. Tebow, Big 12 vs. SEC. A lot of people think that they might have to share their national championship with another team if the AP believes so.

The game itself will be a good one but I will pick the Florida Gators for many reasons.

The first reason is Tim Tebow. Say what you you will about Sam Bradford but Tebow will prove that he is the best quarterback on the field tonight. Tebow can do it at all and he is playing with a chip on his shoulder all game long. Tebow wants to show everyone why he was the Heisman last year. He also has Percy Harvin to throw too and he is 90% healthy which as one said "is better than most on the field." Harvin will have a huge game and wants this just as bad as anyone.

The next reason is defense. The Oklahoma defense claims how tired they are of hearing about bad they are but they still have had trouble with teams like Texas, Oklahoma State, and others. Only the Texas Tech game did Oklahoma look like your national champion. Tebow has also seen four of the best twenty defenses in the nation already this year, he knows how to handle this defense. Florida's defense against Oklahoma's offensive line will be the biggest match up but the Sooners have not seen a defense quicker than the Florida's. Brandon Spikes will be all over the Sooner offense. Another big thing is they dont have Demarco Murray and they dont have a two-prong attack.

The final reason is Florida special teams is better than Oklahoma. Many things can be decided on special teams and if one thing can break this game for either teams this will be it. I dont believe we are in for a classic like Miami-Ohio St. or Texas-USC but I do expect a good game.

Florida 45 Oklahoma 35
