The BCS has a dream meeting of superstar quarterbacks and high-powered offenses when the Florida Gators and Oklahoma Sooners meet.

Florida won its final nine games and knocked off then-No. 1 Alabama in the SEC championship game as it earned a chance to play for another BCS title.

The 5-point favored Gators may boast the best leader in the nation in Tim Tebow. He put together another excellent season throwing for 2,515 yards, 28 touchdowns, and just two interceptions. He also rushed for 682 yards and 12 TDs.

Florida should gain an edge from what could resemble a home crowd for them at Dolphin Stadium.

The decisive factor in this game will be Florida's defense. The Gators were fifth in the country with 12.8 points allowed per game, second with 24 interceptions, and tied for eighth with 279.3 yards a contest.
