I gotta go with the Gators in this one, those SEC Defenses can be really strong in the big games.

[Overtime]

6 days till game time!!!!!!!!! wooohooo!!!!!!!! less than a week until it's all settled and the Oklahoma Sooners are crowned your 2008 NCAA Division 1 Men's Football National Champions!!!!

let's kick some Gator ass!!!!!!!!!!

Granger isn't even a starter dude. OU's defense is weak against the pass, and their #1 rush d-end has been out since the Nebraska game.

I know dude. You said nothing to dispel my point that OU has a good D-line.

Isn't Auston English going to be back for this game?

[Bronco Axe]

Oklahoma has a nasty defensive line too, although it got a little less nasty with the loss of Granger. They still have Gerald McCoy who is one of the best DT's in the nation though.

unfortunately i think florida will win... i say unfortunately because when it happens, you will hear those ignorant, brainless SEC fans start yelling SEC SEC SEC! at the top of their lungs again.

i really don't understand why they adopt their entire conference when it comes to bowl season... you don't win a special prize because another team in your conference won the championship, SEC fans.

but if texas was in the national championship game against florida, i think they would win. texas has a nasty defensive line and that seems to be the formula to beat spread teams.
and texas would shut up those guys who say the big 12 can't play defense

No yall don't get what I am saying. Now they will be able to key on one guy, the LESS DANGEROUS Brown, who does not return kicks, is not as big of a recieving threat, and does not have as lethal gamebreaking speed. He can get the tough yards as good as anyone though.

[Straz1999]

Chris Brown is the spooners leading rusher.

It's ok. Let him rant. Then there will be no excuses later.

[Max Power]

Well the Sooners didn't miss him last year, when Granger lost his mind and stole a coat from Burlinton Coat Factory before the game, and was suspended. Trust me on this one, they WILL miss their R.B Murray. Leading rusher, Leading K.O. returner, leading reciever out of the backfield, biggest GAMEBREAKER on their team!!! Yeah. They won't miss him AT ALL will they???

DeMarcus "Danger" Granger will also miss the game.

NORMAN, Okla. -- Oklahoma defensive tackle DeMarcus Granger has undergone back surgery and will not play in the FedEx BCS National Championship Game against Florida.

Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops made the announcement Wednesday, a day after saying starting running back DeMarco Murray will also miss the Jan. 8 game.

Murray is out with a hamstring injury and is also scheduled for surgery.

A backup, Granger played in 11 games during the season and recorded 20 tackles and two fumble recoveries.

Granger did not play in the Big 12 championship game against Missouri because of back problems.

The surgery was performed Monday and OU trainer Scott Anderson says Granger will likely miss spring practice while recovering.

[Straz1999]

Look, OU is going to be fine. This means we are going to see a lot more of Ryan Broyles now. This could kind of be a blessing in disguise, due to the fact that this may make Murray stay for his junior year now. I would be more worried if we were to lose Gresham or one of our stud linemen. I just really feel we will be fine without Murray. Would love to have him, though.

That's a big loss for Oklahoma, comparable to Florida being without Harvin.

But Harvin is gonna be healthy!
