Since the Top 2 teams are both from the same conference and would play each other in the SEC title game, it's a safe bet that the top 2 teams in this BCS poll won't reach the BCS game, regardless of any historical mumbo jumbo. It's as if the paragraph was written with the assumption that Texas would be one of the top 2. -Zeb --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
