Oklahoma, Florida Hope for BCS Title Bid

Last year's Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow threw for 216 yards and three touchdowns as the Florida Gators knocked off Alabama, the last undefeated team in the BCS conferences. The Gators' defense did the rest as they held Alabama to 20 points and made the Tide trail in the second half for the first time this season. Despite being penalized 6 times for 45 yards, the Gators still managed to win the game.

The Oklahoma Sooners have now accomplished a feat no one has done in 89 years: scored 60 points in five straight games. The Sooners offense led the way as they ran up the score on helpless Missouri (or, as it's now called, scored style points). Quarterback Sam Bradford threw for 384 yards and 2 touchdowns.

ESPN will air a bowl selection special tonight at 8 PM, so tune in to find out who's going where. (Unless the BCS pulls an unexpected rabbit out of its hat, then it'll be Oklahoma and Florida in the title game.)

Here's the final BCS bowl projections:
BCS National Championship Game: Florida vs. Oklahoma
Fiesta Bowl: Ohio State vs. Texas
Sugar Bowl: Alabama vs. Utah
Orange Bowl: Virginia Tech vs. Cincinnati
Rose Bowl: Penn State vs. USC
