I was watching ESPN yesterday, and Pat Forde put it best. "If Notre Dame gets in, the BCS is a popularity contest." The only thing holding Florida back from playing in the BCS title game is their non-conference schedule, but they play in the toughest football conference in America.

Usually Florida State is our big out of conference game, they wasn't horrible, but who knew FSU would be this bad this year? Florida most certainly didn't, but you can tell its a rivalry game because Florida didn't play well. If I could be honost, I don't believe they deserve the title game shot, because I don't have much faith in the style of offense we have. That spread option does not allow Florida to protect and nurse leads very well, it really helps other teams get back into games or keep games close.
I'm not sure how much I trust Tebow throwing the ball next year, that's only because you hardly ever see him throw. That doesn't mean he can't, but it seems like he only comes in to run. If Tony Carter didn't misplay that Dallas Baker TD the outcome could've been different, as I wish it was...
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>"If Notre Dame gets in, the BCS is a popularity contest."</div>Notre Dame has a contract with the BCS. As long as Notre Dame gets in the top 10 in the BCS standings, they get a BCS bowl. Also, if they win 9 non-exempt games, they get a BCS bowl. So either way, I think Notre Dame is already in, whether it is right or wrong.
