I'd love to see Boise play Alabama. I'd say Bama would win, but I'd like to see it settled on the field

No. Texas wins that game with McCoy.

I think it looks like...

Tier 1 Alabama Texas

Tier 2 Ohio State, Florida, Iowa (with Stanzi)

Tier 3 Boise, Cincinnati, Penn State, Va Tech, Oregon (probably could include LSU in here too)

everyone else

Last night McCoy was out. Florida's defense had 2 starters out vs. Bama (LB A.J. Jones knee) and the Monday nite birthday party. Dunlap wasn't out by himself and it showed. Texas was ONE second away from not being conference champs.
All 3 had games where they dominated and could have beaten anybody, and they had bad games. Bama was good/lucky enough to win when they played poorly.
Having a few close calls during the season doesn't mean anything if you win them. Every national champ in the BCS era has had at least one game during the year when they had to pull their metaphorical shit out of the fire, every last one of them. Bama is the best team in the country by a very wide margin.

People aren't giving Florida much credit for beating cinci but Iowa is now a top 5 team because they beat a garbage georgia tech team??

I believe the BCS got the real champion right this year...but a playoff would've been more determining.

The achilles heel of Texas this season has been their running game (lack of), and IMO it really showed last night. I'll give credit to the Horns that they didn't quit one bit. After watching probably 80% of the bowl games, based upon the competiton, the team that impressed me the most was Ohio State. I think that of all the bowl teams, going from their last game to the bowl game the Buckeyes made the most improvement.

the gap isn't that huge. but yes it's a fair assessment

IMO:
Alabama/Texas/Florida = Tier 1
OSU/Oregon/BSU = Tier 1a
PSU/TCU/Iowa/USC/Oklahoma/UC/Pitt/LSU/California = Tier 2
then everyone else.

Alabama/Florida no way

Alabama ran all over Florida with Florida's 1st QB in the game.
Texas played very well with their 2nd Qb in the game and if McCoy had played the whole game they just might have won.

Plus there were other teams that gave Alabama a much better game than Florida.

Why is Oregon in the same 'tier' as two teams that beat the fuck out of them?

If there was any doubt before of your ignorance, there shouldn't be now.

Did you watch the game? Their O line gave uo 5 or 6 sacks and had pressure on the QB most of the game. Bama could hardly pass the ball without alot of pressure.

To ignore facts makes you ignorant.
What does the O-line play of Bama have to do with their defense? LOL, let's face it, people have been calling you out on your lack of knowledge on college football since the old huddle, you just don't know much about it. It's not a big deal, just face it and move on.

Hardly.

37-21=16 point difference.
32-13=19 point difference.

I would say Florida and Texas are at about the same level.

And yes, this is clearly SEC chest thumping.
