The BCS got it right. Florida is No. 2.
With all due respect to Kansas State, Oregon and Notre Dame, you just aren't as physical or as relentless as the Gators.
All that moaning and groaning that first erupted on the Left Coast two weeks ago can just stop. You're just not what we are looking for at No. 2.
Oregon, you have that PlayStation speed and your defense is respectable in the Pac-12, but look at your schedule. No team you've beaten is currently ranked in the AP Top 25 or the BCS standings. The combined record of your past opponents is 25-25.
Kansas State, Bill Snyder has been excellent and Collin Klein is a true Heisman candidate. However, your best win is against Oklahoma.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Tahaan Goodman (Rancho Cucamonga, Calif./Rancho Cucamonga) isn't rushing his recruitment.
The four-star safety is making sure that it doesn't become overwhelming. Instead, he's learning to like it.
"It is fun, I am enjoying it," he said Saturday at Champion Gridiron Kings in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. "I am taking it in a little by little. Right now, at this point, I am checking more schools out, checking more areas out seeing what I like and what is different. I want to put some schools in certain brackets."

On Friday while at Champion Gridiron Kings at Disney's ESPN Wide World of Sports, Willis spoke about a couple programs still in the mix for his commitment.
“Oregon is a great program,” Willis said, “and LSU is a great school that has put a lot of defensive backs in the league. The coaching staff is all very cool.”
Willis said he plans to take an official to Notre Dame on Sept. 21 for the game against Michigan, to Nebraska on Oct. 26 for the game against Michigan and to LSU on Nov. 2 for the Alabama game. He has no timeline for his decision right now.
