They still had to beat OU. They were not handed the Championship, they earned it by being the best team.
I think where some of the sentiment comes from is because of how the end of the year played out.
Florida did beat OU. Who hasnt beaten OU in a BCS bowl lately?
Florida and Alabama played a tough SEC championship game. Alabama was then handily defeated by Utah.
Many people felt it should have been Florida vs Utah for the national championship.
Texas would have provided Florida a much better game than OU did. We, however, didnt get it done against Tech so I cant bitch.
Nick Saban stated Tim Tebow was actually not human and one of the Borg.
The winds were blowing out of the west for an unusually high number of games in which Florida played at home.
Pete Carroll's standard BCS bribe arrived a bit too late due to being held up...at a Florida post office.
It was rumored that Urban Meyer was the gunman on the grassy knoll.
What does any of this mean? Nothing. However, without a true playoff system you are going to have to live with your national championship always coming with an asterisk to someone. I can live with that from 2005 and Im sure you can live with 2006 and 2008.
