spt_GamesToWatchBCS[i-1].body = "(1) Florida vs. (2) Oklahoma
No one is really debating that the Gators belong in the BCS Championship, but Oklahoma is another story. Earlier this year the Sooners lost to Texas, the Longhorns' only loss, so many feel that Texas is the team that belongs here. The Sooners used that as motivation in it's thumping of Missouri in the Big 12 championship game and will surely do the same against Florida.
This matchup will also pit two of the Heisman favorites against each other. Florida's Tim Tebow has made a great case for his second straight Heisman Trophy, but Sam Bradford has as well, leading the Sooners to an NCAA record for most points scored in a season. The BCS title could come down to which QB performs best in the spotlight. ";

The Trojans were almost shut out of a BCS Bowl, but Oregon State coughed up its final game of the season against Oregon to give USC new life. Now that the Trojans are back in a BCS bowl, you can bet Pete Carroll will make sure his squad doesn't suffer another letdown.
Meanwhile, the ageless Joe Paterno has Penn State clicking on all cylinders. Penn State suffered an upset loss at Iowa on Nov. 8, otherwise the Nittany Lions could have found themselves in the BCS Championship. Penn State has impressive wins over Big Ten rivals Illinois, Ohio State and Michigan State and also thumped Oregon State, which was the only team to defeat USC. Which coaching giant will walk away with the roses? ";

Nobody thought Boise State had a prayer against Oklahoma a couple years ago in the Fiesta Bowl. Now, Utah is playing the role of the undefeated underdog. Can the Utes pull out a magical win like the Broncos did? Unlike that Boise State squad, this Utah team has been tested against the likes of TCU and BYU and came out unscathed. Alabama, though, is another jump up in level of competition.
The Tide was able to go through the entire regular season undefeated but lost to Florida in the SEC Championship. Will Nick Saban be able to get his team to rebound and finish the season on a high note with a win in the Sugar Bowl?";

The Buckeyes are certainly going to have their work cut out for them. The Longhorns, and most of the critics clamoring for a playoff system, feel that Texas deserved a spot in the BCS Championship instead of Oklahoma. You can bet Texas will use the Fiesta Bowl as an opportunity to prove to the rest of the country that the wrong Big 12 team made it to the BCS title game.
The Buckeyes were in the BCS Championship the alst two years, and lost both times. Many critics have said that Ohio State and the rest of the Big Ten teams can't keep up with the cream of the crop from the SEC, Big 12 and USC, and this will be its time to prove those critics wrong. With weapins like running back Beanie Wells and freshman QB Terrelle Pryor, the Buckeyes could pull off the upset. But will Heisman hopeful Colt McCoy allow Texas to be put into that situation?";

Virginia Tech doesn't have too many marquee wins this season, but the Hokies were able to pull out a 'W' when it counted in the ACC championship over Boston College. Can the Hokies keep that momentum going in the Orange Bowl against Cincinnati?
The Big East was hard to figure out this season, and Cincinnati playing in the Orange Bowl is certainly proof. While teams like South Florida, West Virginia and Pittsburgh got much of the attention early in the season, the Bearcats only suffered two losses on the season, one of which was to No. 2 Oklahoma. Can Cincinnati end its surprising season on a high note?";
