I don't know if you guys are watching this game but it's great! Ohio State scored early and now they are down 21-14 in the second quarter. Chris Leak looks pretty good out there unlike Troy Smith. The Buckeyes defense just held them to punt which went into the end zone. Ted Ginn Jr. went out with an injury and didn't come back.
I'm watching and so far so good. It would appear Urban Meyer likes coaching in Arizona. He was the head coach when Utah won the Fiesta Bowl 2 years ago. The speed of the Gator D and the creativitiy of (OC) Dan Mullen (@ Utah w/ Urban) may be too much... I hope. The Florida kicker just knocked through a FG. He also hit one in the SEC title games... a good omen?
Ohio State couldn't get the 4th & 1. Florida's defense holds up to give the offense 3:37 at around the 34 yard line. They have a chance to possibly add on to their 10 point lead.
Its now 27-14 Gators. The Florida PK hit another FG after The Gator D came up big as MKIV mentioned. Troy Smith just coughed it up. Gator Ball @ the 5.
Florida has this game but they can't let up. Only way Ohio State comes back is if Florida were to let up.

I think it's safe to say Florida pulled the upset by the looks of their defense. I think it would be too early to say this but, congrats. Troy Smith or Kenny Irons to Baltimore!

Can't play like that and go in round 1 IMO. I'll concede to the SEC. Florida and LSU IMO should be ranked #1 and #2 in the Final Polls. Ohio State would be my #3. I would put Michigan #7 and Wisconsin #8. Well deserved Champion in Florida but I can't help but think of what a Boise State vs. Florida game would be like.
I wasnt gonna count out Ohio St from coming back until became obvious that Ginn wasn't going to be able to get back in the game. Unfortunate that the Buckeyes were missing their best player for the majority of the game.

Um yea he is bro, did you miss the first damn play of the game? I still think florida would have won, but Ginn adds a whole nother dimension to the game, he's a threat on returns, runs, and recieving.
I didnt watch the game. I couldve told you the outcome long before it started. OSU didnt play for 50 days. 50 days of nothing but [practice builds rust. i didnt see how badly they played, but the score tells me that rist had tons to do with the way they lost.
Iv'e been in favor of a Playoff season for the last several years, would be awsome i think! No excuses for the Buckeyes though, we got trounced like a pee-wee league team, out classed, and out matched period.
