I am a UT fan and am certain that the most deserving team is in the BCS Title Game. I think that a UT-OU rematch tomorrow at the Cotton Bowl would have a different result than the Oct 11 affair did.
That being said, I think OU is going to get absolutely pummeled. The Sooners, much like Tech, UT, Mizzou to an extent, benefited from playing horrible Big 12 defenses all year. Texas' defense was the best OU faced all season and while Bradford had a terrific game against the Horns, the running game was non-existent. I think the OU offense will get backed into a similar corner tomorrow night. He is going to receive so much more pressure than he has at any point in time prior to this game. If they can't run the ball to keep the Gators defense on their heels, they will be completely ineffective. He's going to rely on Gresham and Iglesias heavily because he never hooked up with Manuel Johnson the same way at the end of the season like he did towards the beginning.
On the other side of the ball, Florida is going to do basically whatever they want against the OU defense. That is one overrated unit without question.
I hope it's a good game but I have a feeling it will look like what we saw a year ago and two years ago.
