Gators: Get Up and Go!

Alas...a hearteningly just outcome to the BCS mess!

My take: the Gators deserve it, hands down. They played the toughest schedule in the country -- including a wicked mid-season run against ranked opponents, nine to Michigan's six -- and Big Blue had their shot. My big problem with rematches is that they favor the team that lost the first time, and furthermore, they negate the meaning of the first game. I mean, by Michigan fan logic, even if they beat OSU in the last game of the season, shouldn't they just be TIED at the end of the season?? After all, losses don't matter that much do they?

My future advice to teams that want to gripe about not making the title game: first of all, win your conference. Conference runner ups don't deserve to play in the big one. And if you're the runner up of a weaker conference -- helloooOOOoooo Michigan -- well...forget it. I'm not a reflexive fan of the SEC in these situations, by the way. I just don't think this one was even close. And when the Gators beat OSU -- there I said it -- the whole discussion is going to seem pretty silly.

I had the good fortune to attend the SECCG on Saturday with a certain insane Gators fan and it was a blast watching him and his crew go berserk. This was our view.

But my favorite moment of the evening came at half time when throngs of Gators fans packed the men's bathrooms because they were the only places in the building where the hoi polloi could watch USC - UCLA.

The Hogs played pretty well, but their offense doesn't allow them to come from very far behind, and a certain boneheaded punt return attempt put them in the hole. There's something really ugly and unfootball-y about Meyer's version of the spread -- it looks a little too delicate and dainty for my tastes -- but that's an aesthetic criticism. It's hard to defend, as the Buckeyes will learn soon enough, and I can't wait to see the outcome.
