Oklahoma Sooner Football Articles and NotesOU-Florida predictions: From
around the webAdam Abramson, Campus Confidential:Charlie Strong's
(Florida) unit has been stellar at times this year and I expect a big
game from their go-to guys up front... Florida 28, Oklahoma 20Mike
Rose, Campus Confidential:The Sooners haven't played a defense like
they'll see come Thursday night. Tim Tebow is great player, and he's
the most valuable player on the field. Florida's defense will step up
and Tebow will again lead the Gators to a big win... Florida 31,
Oklahoma 23From Campus ConfidentialMartin Manley, Upon Further
ReviewOU's six opponents are ranked #3, #7, #11, #12, #13, #21. FL's
three opponents are ranked #4, #15 and #25. Not only has OU been tested
more often against stronger competition, but they have fared better...
Oklahoma 38, Florida 35From KC Star's UFRBen Volin, Palm Beach PostAsk
the Tennessee fans how Tim Tebow responds in a big game. Ask the
Georgia fans, LSU, Florida State and Miami fans, too. Tebow's Gators
beat those opponents, 201-55. Don't forget about the 31-20 comeback
against Alabama. Forget the stats for this game, because Tebow will use
the Heisman snub to lead the Gators to victory... Florida 41, Oklahoma
27Greg Stoda, Palm Beach PostIt really comes down to a belief that the
best teams Oklahoma has beaten are better than the best teams Florida
has beaten. Neither defense will consistently stop the opponent's
offense. Oklahoma 37, Florida 31From Palm Beach PostMark Blaudschun,
Boston GlobeWe liked the Sooners as our No. 1 team at the start of the
year and we like them now... Oklahoma 45, Florida 35From Boston
GlobeJerry Greene, Orlando SentinelNothing stops me from telling you
who will win. And it won't be "Wow" as much as "Whoa" when Oklahoma
ignores regular-season stats to find those key stops and critical
takeaways.... Oklahoma 42, Florida 21.From Orlando SentinelPete Fiutak,
FOX Sports/College Football NewsExpect a repeat of what Ohio State did
against Colt McCoy in the Fiesta, up until the game-deciding play, by
letting Bradford make his throws before blasting the receivers to force
several third-down chances. Florida will find a decent enough balance
offensively, and will dominate on special teams, to make it three in a
row for the SEC... Florida 38, Oklahoma 27From FOXSports.comBarack
Obama, President-elect"I think Utah has a pretty good claim. They're
undefeated," he said. "I think USC, which had a great Rose Bowl, beat
Penn State pretty badly. They’ve got a pretty good claim to being
number one. Florida and Oklahoma, I think, both have a claim. Texas, at
this point, has got to feel like, 'Well, we did OK, too.' I think--I
think a football playoff system makes sense. I've spoken about this
quite a bit, and I think if you look at knowledgeable sports fans, they
agree with me." Florida over OklahomaFrom New York TimesTed Green, Los
