This college football season was amazing: from my down and out Dawgs finishing with three straight upsets of ranked teams including a fantastic come-from-behind victory over Virginia Tech in the “Peach” Bowl, to Boise State and Oklahoma giving us the greatest football game in recent memory, and finally to Florida proving every one wrong and taking Ohio State to the wood shed.
Simply amazing.
Florida was lucky this year. They wouldn’t have even been in the championship game if UCLA didn’t beat USC in the last week of the season. Georgia and Auburn weren’t so lucky when they made their runs for the championship in recent years.
In fact, many people believe that Florida didn’t belong in this game, that Michigan should have gotten to plan Ohio State again. Those people were proved wrong when Michigan laid an egg against USC in the Rose Bowl last week. I guess that just shows you that the Big Ten was overrated this year. Ohio State, Michigan, and Wisconsin had great years but in the end none of them beat a top ten team from another conference. In hindsight, their biggest out of conference victories were not over dominant teams: Texas, Notre Dame, and Arkansas.
I guess that just goes to show that once again the SEC is the strongest conference in the land.
