Well I think the main thing people keep hitting on for Florida is their defense is so much better. IMO, I don't really see it that way. OU has played against much better offenses (Almost all ranked in the top 50 in the country) and you could ask the question, chicken or the egg, but as I see it they are fairly comparable in level of performance when you compare it to the opponents expected level of offensive performance. Obviously it is a little easier to have a defense appear great when you get to face the South Carolina, Vandy and Tennessee's. Although it goes both ways as those teams have very good defenses. I think it will be a competitive game and Oklahoma comes out on top.

obviously everyone and their mother likes Florida tonight, but i'm leaning Oklahoma. anyone wanna talk me out of it? yes, the Big 12 hasn't played well this bowl season, but so what? Oklahoma is clearly the class of the Big 12. yes, i am aware they lost to a mediocre Texas team, but didn't Florida lose to a mediocre Ole Miss team? didn't the SEC runner-up (who gave Florida all they could handle) just get pasted by Utah? this conference thing is really overblown, IMO. most books have +6 now and rising...might be able to get us much as TD before game time, and if that happens i'm most definitely pulling the trigger.

thoughts?
