I haven't said much about the game this evening... I don't really know what to say. A lot of smarter people than I have come up with overviews- "google" if you want that type of thing.

I've thought all along that #1 was optimistic, and I've always felt that my favorite squadron could go 1-11 if they beat that school up north. So, I was committed to not thinking about the game tonight... a win would just be icing on an extremely tasty cake.

But here we are. I don't know if it's because of the above, because of the 51 day layoff, because it's a wweek after New Year's, or because of the lack of coverage (since the BCS moved to FOX, I haven't had it crammed down my throat like ESPN did last year); but in any case, I find myself not all that emotionally involved... perhaps that will change come gametime.

Ironically, I'm the guy who always picks against my team in our college picks league- this year, I went with them for one point. If they lose, I finish in second; if they win, I finish in 15th or something.

To be honest, the only thing that concerns me is the Florida offense. Not because of their "speed" or talent, but because it is an offense that is based on misdirection. If you watched Utah with Alex Smith back in the day, you know what is possible with Urban Meyer's playbook.

That being said, Chris Leak is no Alex Smith. He makes too many mistakes, and is a better pocket passer in an option offense. The Gators' running game is not fantastic, solid, but not fantastic.

Plus, there's Troy Smith. And that's all I'm going to say about that.

But, as Boise State proved in the University of Phoenix Stadium last week, anything can happen.

No matter what, it's been a great season. How this game ends up does not change that.
