It's a difficult argument, any way you look at it. In my opinion, Florida State is the best team in the country and deserves the title if it beats the No. So I'm sticking with the winner of this game. The fact is, Stoops doesn't have the talent this year that he did in 1996 with the Gators. That's the bottom line.
Stoops is here to stay.
Oklahoma has a better tradition and better prospects for maintaining what Stoops has started. What Heupel will see is someone in his face on every play, and if Oklahoma's suspect offensive line can't contain Florida State's stellar defensive ends, it's going to be a long day. Oklahoma does have to play the perfect game to win, there's no two ways about it. Florida State has much more talent, including loads more speed. Couple that with big-game experience, and you see why Oklahoma's a big underdog.
