VD - have you seen the USC stats on Defense? With a month to prepare for Tebow, I'd think USC would win pretty easily (as they have in every 'big' game the last few years).
UF/Oklahoma would be a good game too - but of the no-Defense variety.
I'm pretty sure that LVSC said if they had to set the line for USC/UF, that USC would be favored. I'll look for the link.

I have Florida at 15/1 to win it all and right now the only 2 teams I really don't want to meet is USC and Oklahoma. However I'm of the opinion that nobody is playing better football than Florida. Oklahoma just scored 61 points but almost forgotten is that their defense gave up 31 ! I doubt that USC would be favored by 3 over Florida. Great game but I don't see it happening. Let's assume that Oklahoma is choosen over Texas to play for the big 12 Championship and even if they lose to Missouri, I then think Texas would be choosen over USC on their strength of schedule.
I agree we're not going to see UF/USC - just think it's a shame.
FL gave up 19 at home to Div 2 Citadel.
USC, against RANKED opponents has given up 3, 10, and 3. I don't think they'd shut down Tebow - but no way UF scores more than 24-27 against that D. And USC should put up 30+.
Granted they always have a letdown against a weaker team, but in big/important games - nobody shows up like USC.

I kinda agree with your line. However in view of Texas moving up a spot in the just released USA poll, It's very possible that Texas might go to the big 12 championship game if Texas also move up in the Harris poll which should be out very soon ! Texas trailed Oklahoma 1397 to 1396 ! That one point just might decide this whole thing. Wonder if there are any hanging chads ? :lolBIG:
