Today is sadly the last day of college football for 9 months. Florida will take on Oklahoma for the BCS Championship. Florida is 3-1 in BCS games while Oklahoma is 2-4 including 4 straight losses.
Offense
Oklahoma scored 54.0 ppg this season while Florida averaged 45.2. Both teams have shown they can score. Both teams have Heisman Trophy QB's. Both teams have been able to run the ball effectively this year. Oklahoma will be without star tailback DeMarco Murray. Advantage: Push
Defense
The difference will be defense. Florida gives up 12.8 ppg while Oklahoma 24.5. A lot of that can be attributed to the style of offenses they faced, but Florida does have the better defense. Florida averaged 229.8 ypg rushing and that will be the difference. The Big 12 South hasn't been able to stop the rush at all in the bowl season and look for that trend to continue. Oklahoma will get frustrated by Florida's ability to keep the ball away from their offense and might start to force things and cause some turnovers. Advantage: Florida
The SEC will win their 4th BCS title in 6 years with a win over Oklahoma as they continue their futility in BCS games. Prediction: Florida 45, Oklahoma 31
