The Florida Gators won a classic BCS Championship game on Thursday night, 24-14 over the Oklahoma Sooners (+5 at kick-off); Tim Tebow’s jump pass to David Nelson with just over three minutes left secured the win and the cover for Florida.

The Texas Longhorns might think they could have done better, but they’ll have to settle for their thrilling 24-21 Fiesta Bowl victory over the Ohio State Buckeyes (+8). Texas squashed a furious OSU comeback with a 26-yard TD pass from Colt McCoy to Quan Cosby with just 16 seconds left on the clock.

The Utah Utes also have reason to call themselves No. 1 after riding the Alabama Crimson Tide (-9.5) 31-17 at the Sugar Bowl. But the best bowl performance: Four TDs and zero picks for USC Trojans QB Mark Sanchez in a 38-24 drubbing of the Penn State Nittany Lions (+10) at the Rose Bowl.
