Top 5 - BCS Championship Game Thoughts

Here are the major observations I'd make after last night's BCS Championship game.

1. This game easily could have gone the other way. Tim Tebow had 2 interceptions which were the result of poor decisions on his part. Sam Bradford had 2 interceptions but they were flukes. If neither one of Bradford's interceptions occurred then the game is completely different with Oklahoma probably coming out on top.

2. Bob Stoops has to take some of the blame for the loss last night. He got too conservative. Take the first and goal situation in the first half for example. They march all the way down to the 2 yard line and then go away from their normal formation and go into what my friend Sean calls a "Jumbo" package which allowed Florida to bunch up and stuff the run. The Sooners went for it on 4th down in the Jumbo package and lost two yards. My pet peeve is that if you are going to do the Jumbo package from the two-yard line - just do QB sneaks until you get the ball into the end zone. Forward progress makes it impossible to lose yards with a QB sneak in those situations.

3. Tim Tebow will come back to Florida next season and will be a so-so pro football player. Percy Harvin will not be back to Florida and will be a very good pro football player.

4. The Fox announcing team last night was horrible.

5. What we really need is one final matchup between Texas and Florida to settle once and for all which team Jesus would want to win. Call it a battle of faith between Colt McCoy and Tim Tebow. I wonder if Tim asked "WWJD" before he did this:
