Weekly Update

Weekly News: So there you have it, in a season that saw no dominating team, and no team which claimed the number one spot for more than five weeks, the BCS and Other bowl season finally comes to an end with a team who lost to Ole Miss claiming the BCS National Championship.

In a bowl season which was truthfully less than exciting for the most part, all 68 teams played at their highest possible level in all 34 bowls. The BCS delivered many of the more interesting bowl games of the season, most attention capturing probably being the classic Fiesta Bowl between the Texas Longhorns and Ohio State Buckeyes, which came down to a game winning drive by the Longhorns to clinch victory.

But this site, and the season, is all about the Florida Gators now. As the team which had entered the season not even favored in its own conference, that distinction belonging to the Georgia Bulldogs, the Gators needed to fight all season to make their statement as one of the two best schools in the country.

After a loss to Ole Miss, Tim Tebow, the previous season’s Heisman trophy winner, made it very clear his ambition to make it back to the National Title game, with an emotional press conference that set the SEC on fire. From that point on, the Gators showed their defensive and offensive prowess, finishing the season fifth in defense and second in offense in the nation.

The National Title game proved a dud, but the Gators were the dominating team without a doubt, and they deserved every piece of the National title which they have won. Even the AP Poll, who have split the national title in the past, and were feared to do exactly that again this year, awarded the distinction to the Gators, even though it was not close to a unanimous award.

The fantastic BCS bowl season can be relived at the BCS Bowls page for full recaps. The less than fantastic Other Bowl season can be relived with scores at the Other Bowls page. The BCS Know How Postseason BCS Rankings, which rank the teams using the BCS formula, which is not released by the official BCS ranking system will make an appearance once all of the computers have finalized their ranking system.
