Florida Beats Oklahoma 24-14, Are Now National Champions

The Florida Gators beat the Oklahoma Sooners 24-14 Thursday night in Miami to win the national championship. However, are they really the best team? An article on that subject is coming this weekend. It will include the results of my fantasy playoff that I wrote the rules for. (It gives eight teams a chance at the title)

It was over when: Tim Tebow hit David Nelson for a four yard touchdown pass with 3:07 left.

Game ball goes to: Percy Harvin.

Stat of the game: 5. The SEC has now won five BCS championships, and Oklahoma has lost five straight BCS bowl games.
