Its good to be a Florida Gator.


Florida won by too many points to have a convincing argument for a College Football playoff. Nevertheless, an argument from Boise State can be heard. The Broncos finished the season undefeated, but its doubtful they could have dealt with the SEC tempered Gators tonight in the BCS title game. Unfortunately, we will never know.
The University of Florida now holds both the Men's Basketball and Football NCAA National titles currently. That is quite a feat considering it has never been done before. I have to admit that the way they won those two championships were very convincing.
Hard to argue that the SEC isn't the best Conference in college football. Every week is a rivalry with huge implications and every week the expectations of great games are met. The best teams may lose a game on its way to a conference championship, then they determine a true winner in one final game. LSU, absent from the SEC title game, beat Notre Dame in the Sugar bowl by 20. Then Florida follows it up with a pasting of the seemingly invincible Ohio State team.

Could Florida do it again in both sports?

The current basketball squad in Tallahassee returned all 5 starters from its National title win. The football team returns quarterback Tim Tebow. The only thing that can get in the way is next seasons schedule. No matter what the non-Conference schedule brings, the SEC awaits each and every week to take their shots, in both sports.
Next season should be even better, but then again without a football playoff it will never be complete. There is never a dispute or computer formula needed in March.
