The big interrogate each person is asking is - what happened to Ohio State? Everyone is talking roughly how the Gators dismantled the Buckeyes to win the 2006 BCS College Football Championship. The Gators seemed like they were in a distinct league than the Buckeyes. And, the evidence is, they are.

The 41-14 closing grade makes the unfit be closer than it was. Half of the Buckeyes 14 points came from their exit kick-off come flooding back. After that play, the Buckeyes were all controlled in all point of the winter sport. Florida had 370 full yards to Ohio State's 82. The Buckeyes' Heisman Trophy field general Troy Smith was held to one and only 4 endorse completions (2 in all half); 35 fugacious yards; 1 interception; 0 touchdowns. The BCS Championship spectator sport was the most unattractive game in Troy Smith's line.

It's not a chance event that the National Championship activity was too the first time Troy Smith had ever been on the self area near the haste and muscle of a Southeastern Conference (SEC) football game squad. I bet a lot of Buckeye players famous the day after the winter sport. Celebrated the reality they likely will never once again dance on the identical corral near a unit from the SEC.

There is an old spoken communication that "practice makes foolproof." Playing in the SEC, Florida gets mountain of run through. In 2006, the Gators had the toughest rota in the body politic (.643 opponents prizewinning proportion). Florida all in four Top-25 teams (LSU, Arkansas, Georgia and Tennessee) and mislaid to a fifth- #9 Auburn. Additionally, they overthrow cardinal some other vessel teams (Alabama, South Carolina, Kentucky and Florida State). So, previously ultimate night's game, the Gators had only compete opposed to NINE different vessel teams.

Ohio State? Well, the Buckeyes romp in the Big Ten and hence solitary long-faced cardinal Top-25 teams all period. They averaged complete 36 points and 410 yards a unfit antagonistic largely debilitated opponents. Ohio State simply was immature for the natural ability and depth of a troop similar Florida. Gators defensive end Jarvis Moss same after the activity that 4 or cardinal SEC teams could whitewash Ohio State. I wouldn't go that far, but it is so that all 9 SEC teams Florida faced (including Vanderbilt) vie the Gators tougher than Ohio State did.

You necessitate more impervious the SEC is in a conference of its own? O.K. Since the reaching of the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) system, the SEC leads all conferences (by a fanlike side-line) beside a 10-4 BCS vessel spectator sport story. SEC teams are an victorious 3-0 in BCS National Championship games. In this olden body contact sport season, the SEC:

1. Led the country with six teams in the finishing AP Top-25 sample. No remaining conference had much than iv.

2. In the lawful season, the SEC had an incredible 41-7 non-conference register. This .854 non-conference triumphant proportionality was the longest in the land.

3. Had the utmost teams hand-picked for bowls (9) and the record vessel wins (6). No opposite convention had more than 4 wins. Only the SEC (and Big East) had victorious vessel paperwork. Even the iii SEC bowl losses were encompassing games that could have gone either way. Significantly, SEC vessel teams facade highly developed seeded teams from separate conferences. For instance, the Chick-fil-A Bowl has agreements near the SEC and ACC to prize the # 5 SEC social unit to facade the # 2 ACC troop. The Music City Bowl pairs # 7 from the SEC antagonistic # 5 from the ACC. Yet, the SEC stagnant dominates the bowls period of time after period.

The maximum surprising point about the National Championship game was not what happened on the parcel of land. The most amazing (and scary) point is that Florida all but wasn't picked to stage show in the lame. In the narrowest of decisions, the BCS hardly designated Florida over and done with Michigan to leap Ohio State for the National Championship.

Everyone remembers the utterance from our Michigan (and different Big Ten) friends when Florida was picked complete the Wolverines. Of teaching we too now know that Michigan went on to suffer irrefutably to USC in the Rose Bowl.

In retrospect, it is clear, for all to see, that Ohio State vs. Michigan in the National Championship halt would have been a national show up. Unfortunately, the trueness is that a comparable calamity has happened in the departed and will surface once again in the imminent.

Why? Simple. SEC Football is so heavy-duty that it is literally undoable for an SEC team to get through the well-ordered period in need at most minuscule one loss and in need well-nigh losing a few new games. The SEC Champion invariably emerges from the vessel of an SEC diary as a real champion, but contused and damaged. When the pollsters and computers blend to prize which two teams will frisk in the BCS National Championship, a lower social unit may occur much dazzling than the SEC Champ due to a weaker agenda.

Many pundits underestimated Florida this period because they struggled to win individual SEC games. Another guide is 2004 when Auburn went 12-0 in the day-after-day period of time (13-0 after their vessel conquest), yet spoilt to suffice for the BCS Championship hobby (Oklahoma was picked complete Auburn because quite a lot of of Auburn's wins were not perceived as awful ample).

America was auspicious concluding nighttime that the appropriate troop ended up in the BCS Championship Game. But, the BCS arrangement virtually guarantees projected bias. A academy football game contest grouping is the singular way to really fix the snag.

Well, not the individual way. Another picking would be to have the SEC Champion mechanically measure up for the National Championship halt. While not the champion solution, it would be more unprejudiced than the established system.
