Aww Crikey, Look at the Size of That Gator

Well, that was quite the ass stomping. I'd like to provide some sort of analysis as to why and how the Gators destroyed the Buckeyes, but all I can say is I told you so. That's because, to be honest, I don't remember very much of the title game after Ted Ginn's opening kickoff return. You see, at one point in the night I was standing on my chair at the bar (which was offering $5 all you can drink) yelling "SUCK IT BUCKEYES" at the top of my lungs. At least that's how my friend remembers it. Anyway, congrats to my former school for winning it all. Just don't forget to send some thank you cards to UCLA. I'm not gonna delve into the whole playoff argument right now, but just think...the best team (heck, we can't even be sure about that) in the country would not be the national champion if not for a monumental upset in December they had no control over.

Finally, OSU and Michigan were proven to be overrated all year long. It wasn't their fault they had weak schedules - they both scheduled out of conference road games against preseason Top 5 teams - and won convincingly - but Texas and Notre Dame turned out to be quite mediocre teams. The Big 10 was even worse. Penn State, Iowa, Michigan State, Minnesota, and Purdue- the teams that can usually challenge the Bucks and Wolverines - all had down years while Northwestern, Illinois, and Indiana stunk as usual. Only Wisconsin was good enough to beat UM or OSU, and OSU didn't even have to play them. Michigan took care of Wisconsin quite easily, but again, the Badgers also looked better than they really were because of the underachieving Big 10. (Tip of the hat to the Badgers for winning the Capital One Bowl, but they still are probably the worst 12-1 team in history.)
