The big examine each person is interrogative is - what happened to Ohio State? Everyone is speaking something like how the Gators demolished the Buckeyes to win the 2006 BCS College Football Championship. The Gators seemed same they were in a contrasting league than the Buckeyes. And, the fairness is, they are.

The 41-14 closing chalk up makes the game seem person than it was. Half of the Buckeyes 14 points came from their passage kick-off flood back. After that play, the Buckeyes were fully dominated in all leg of the game. Florida had 370 complete yards to Ohio State's 82. The Buckeyes' Heisman Trophy field general Troy Smith was control to solitary 4 intervene completions (2 in respectively fractional); 35 short-lived yards; 1 interception; 0 touchdowns. The BCS Championship winter sport was the last lame in Troy Smith's occupation.

It's not a happenstance that the National Championship spectator sport was likewise the front juncture Troy Smith had ever been on the very paddock beside the whiz and all-powerfulness of a Southeastern Conference (SEC) football unit. I bet a lot of Buckeye players illustrious the day after the hobby. Celebrated the certainty they possible will never again kick up your heels on the self corral beside a social unit from the SEC.

There is an old locution that "practice makes superlative." Playing in the SEC, Florida gets tons of preparation. In 2006, the Gators had the toughest programme in the body politic (.643 opponents ahead percentage). Florida rout 4 Top-25 teams (LSU, Arkansas, Georgia and Tennessee) and nowhere to be found to a fifth- #9 Auburn. Additionally, they tap cardinal otherwise bowl teams (Alabama, South Carolina, Kentucky and Florida State). So, until that time final night's game, the Gators had at one time contend opposed to NINE other bowl teams.

Ohio State? Well, the Buckeyes tragedy in the Big Ten and as a consequence one and only two-faced 3 Top-25 teams all year. They averaged completed 36 points and 410 yards a game against above all wan opponents. Ohio State simply was ad hoc for the endowment and clarity of a troop close to Florida. Gators protective end Jarvis Moss said after the hobby that cardinal or v SEC teams could dead Ohio State. I wouldn't go that far, but it is literal that all nine SEC teams Florida moon-faced (including Vanderbilt) contend the Gators tougher than Ohio State did.

You need more substantiation the SEC is in a league of its own? O.K. Since the coming of the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) system, the SEC leads all conferences (by a panoramic edge) next to a 10-4 BCS vessel team game story. SEC teams are an unbowed 3-0 in BCS National Championship games. In this ancient school football game season, the SEC:

1. Led the state next to six teams in the crucial AP Top-25 market research. No different seminar had more than four.

2. In the daily season, the SEC had an improbable 41-7 non-conference evidence. This .854 non-conference champion proportionality was the greatest in the country.

3. Had the supreme teams chosen for lawn bowling (9) and the best bowl wins (6). No other conference had much than 4 wins. Only the SEC (and Big East) had ahead bowl archives. Even the iii SEC bowl financial loss were close at hand games that could have departed either way. Significantly, SEC vessel teams facade sophisticated seeded teams from opposite conferences. For instance, the Chick-fil-A Bowl has agreements with the SEC and ACC to prize the # 5 SEC squad to obverse the # 2 ACC squad. The Music City Bowl pairs # 7 from the SEC antagonistic # 5 from the ACC. Yet, the SEC stationary dominates the lawn bowling year after period.

The utmost surprising entry nearly the National Championship lame was not what happened on the tract. The most amazing (and scary) point is that Florida near wasn't picked to theatre in the game. In the narrowest of decisions, the BCS not quite hand-picked Florida over Michigan to let down your hair Ohio State for the National Championship.

Everyone remembers the vocalization from our Michigan (and some other Big Ten) friends when Florida was picked over the Wolverines. Of curriculum we as well now know that Michigan went on to be unable to find finally to USC in the Rose Bowl.

In retrospect, it is clear, for all to see, that Ohio State vs. Michigan in the National Championship crippled would have been a political unit put down. Unfortunately, the veracity is that a twin calamity has happened in the noncurrent and will develop once again in the in store.

Why? Simple. SEC Football is so pugnacious that it is virtually unsurmountable for an SEC squad to get through the lawful season in need at lowest possible one loss and in need about losing a few new games. The SEC Champion invariably emerges from the vessel of an SEC program as a honorable champion, but bruised and damaged. When the pollsters and computers unite to select which two teams will skip in the BCS National Championship, a lesser troop may become visible more glorious than the SEC Champ due to a weaker agenda.

Many pundits underestimated Florida this twelvemonth because they struggled to win respective SEC games. Another representative is 2004 when Auburn went 12-0 in the uniform time period (13-0 after their bowl ending), yet former to suffice for the BCS Championship crippled (Oklahoma was picked terminated Auburn because more than a few of Auburn's wins were not sensed as amazing enough).

America was providential closing dark that the precise squad over up in the BCS Championship Game. But, the BCS set of connections virtually guarantees proposed partiality. A body football game playoff association is the lone way to really fix the puzzle.

Well, not the single way. Another chance would be to have the SEC Champion mechanically measure up for the National Championship spectator sport. While not the incomparable solution, it would be more than tolerant than the prevailing arrangement.
