Not such a great game...

Yeah, the two winningest coaches of all time went head-to-head. Yeah, triple overtime. Yeah, my heart skipped several beats. Fine. Very exciting.

But come on. 19 total penalties? Four missed field goals and one missed extra point? Something like five players down on each team, with one NFL hopeful (Posluszny) possibly seriously injured? The coaches did an excellent job with play-calling, but that was some ugly football. Let's hope the Rose Bowl doesn't play itself out like that.

Fresno State seems to do that on a regular basis

Seriously? Only 8 were ours and it was still a season high.

Pfff, 8 is probably a season low for us

It looks to be around your http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/clubhouse?teamId=278".

I just checked out FSU, though, 11 penalties doesn't seem to be so unusual for them...

How many people picking Texas to win tonight?

USC may have one of the greatest three year dynasties going, but I'm kind of surprised by the talk of this year's team being one of the greatest of all time. Texas has been more dominant over the course of the year and would probably be the favorite if not for USC's 2003 & 2004 seasons.

As for dynasties, I'd still put Osborne's 93-97 teams above USC. Spanning five years, it took more than just one group of great athletes to reach 3 National Championships and 4 championship games in five years.

Way to go Texas... I remember the one point where they put up yardage comparisons:

USC-190
Vince Young-159

that's right kids, not USC vs. UT just shows that he deserved the trophy more than Bush. Stupid USC...

Alright on to the 2006 Draft.

A sure-fire bet that Reggie Bush will be the #1 pick, because let's face it, Leinhardt shouldn't have returned for his Senior year at USC because he DEFINETELY woulda been picked in the 2005 Draft as the first choice... now he is probably going to have to play for the New Orleans Saints because they get the 2nd pick and are in desperate need of a QB. Then followed by Vince Young I bet at #3... but he said he's returning for senior year so he's prolly going to be in the 07 draft--- well CRAP! (At least the titans won't get him!).
