Live Blog: for all the marbles, the BCS National Champeenship o the World

2:26 Fourth: That was quick. OU couldn't muster a first down. Heisman jinx continues as Bradford looked pretty average tonight. And the Tebow worship begins, although i think Percy Harvin was the best player in this game.

3:00 Fourth: By the way, Oklahoma, watch out for the shovel pass off the option action. criminy. how can that play work every time? and there's the jump pass. 24-14 Gators iwth the lead.

9:59 Fourth: OU driving again, but Gator DB makes a terrific play and snags an interception. If Florida can score a TD here, it could be awfully tough for OU to pull this one out.

11:00 Fourth - Gators have to settle for a field goal after Harvin goes out with a dinged ankle and Tebow throws two passes out of bounds. Thought this one was going to be over early tonight, but I have a feeling this last 10 minutes is going to drag on for awhile.

Momentum's name is Percy Harvin as he rips off 52 yards. Amazing how they can get the kid the ball in space. While 75 percent of this game has been penalty-laced crap, we could at least get a good finish.

And the Sooners tie it up, 14-14 as Bradford hits the TE on a nice play. Good drive by OU, taking advantages of some mismatches and some good throws from Bradford.

Start of the fourth: 14-7 Florida. Well, it finally got interesting. For awhile there I switched to PBS to watch History Detectives. But Tebow got everybody going by yelling a lot, which makes him the world's greatest leader. Anyway, nice drive and Gators go on top. OU has stopped being able to run the ball and keep getting stuffed on short yardage. And now the Gators block a field goal, but OU holds and gets the ball back.

Third qtr: This thing's kind of a snoozer. Tebow just missed Harvin on a go.

half: 7-7. OU with a big turnover right before halftime costs them three points. Interesting half. Lots of yards, but not a lot of points and three turnovers.

6:00 2nd: Big sequence as Tebow throws a pick. OU runs the ball to the 1, but a big stop from the Gators. of course, Fox wasn't sure what down it was. ugh. shouldn't these guys be better at this by now?

11:49 Now that's a response. Sooners tie it up on a beautiful drive that looked like it was being played in fast forward. A little surprised to see OU line up and run the ball so easily.

Start of the second qtr: Gators score on a nice throw by Tebow and a nice catch and dive into the EZ. 'Homa looks frustrated to me already. Maybe the pace will pick up a little at least.

1:43 Did Thom Brenaman just say Tim Tebow is "the unquestioned greatest leader in college football today." ??? Is it possible for anyone to describe this kid without going completely over the top.

Penalties kill a promising drive for the Sooners. Is OU trying to wheel route the Gators into submission?

9:20 First quarter - Tebow throws a pick because he waits too long to make the throw on the sideline. Jesus weeps.

First quarter - Both Sam Bradford and Tim Tebow have thrown incompletions. ESPN has new poll up: Who is more overrated? Just interviewed Skip Bayless who says the Heisman committee should by hung by their balls for not naming Colt McCoy Heisman winner. Outside the Lines announces new special: "Is Everyone Not what We Make them out to Be?"

Sorry I didn't follow last night. Decided I just wanted to watch the game and not worry about surfing also.

Game did make me tired. I went in and out in the second half.
