Twenty-two of the most talented players in college football and the NFL represented the BCS National Championship during the 2000's.
The 2005 Texas Longhorns defeated the USC Trojans 41-38, in dramatic fashion, erasing a twelve-point fourth quarter deficit to capture the title. Two years later, the 2007 Florida Gators suffocated a high-powered Oklahoma Sooners offense to claim the crown by a score of 24-14.
Hypotheticals play the starring role in this scenario as two of the most talent-laden rosters of the BCS era square off on the field of -- TazSports.
As luck would have it, the '07 Gators win the coin toss and elect to go on offense first.
MATCHUPS:
QB - Vince Young vs Tim Tebow
Vince Young, Pro Bowler with the Tennessee Titans has a better winning percentage than quarterbacks Tony Romo, Eli Manning and Drew Brees. Tebow simply refused to lose during his Heisman-winning season.
RB - Chris Ogbonnaya, Selvin Young, Jamaal Charles vs Chris Rainey, Jeff Demps
The backfields were full of speedsters on both teams. Pro Bowl tailback Jamaal Charles was a freshman with the 2005 Longhorns.
WR/TE - Limas Sweed, Quan Cosby, Jordan Shipley vs Percy Harvin, Louis Murphy, Riley Cooper, Aaron Hernandez
The consensus will just award this match up to the Gator receiving corp of 2007. Anyone disagree?
DL - Brian Orakpo vs Brandon Spikes
When he's not appearing in Geico commercials, Brian Orakpo is collecting awards for All-Rookie squads (2009), sacks and Pro Bowl invitations. Brandon Spikes has 200 total tackles and five forced fumbles in his five seasons in the NFL.
CB - Cedric Griffin, Aaron Ross vs Janoris Jenkins
Griffin has been a productive defensive back for two NFL teams while Aaron Ross is a two-time Super Bowl champion. Jenkins had 64 total tackles and 4 interceptions with three returned for touchdowns in 2012.
S - Michael Huff vs Major Wright
Michael Huff went to the Pro Bowl in 2010 and has 11 total career interceptions. Wright has increased his performance in tackles and interceptions in each of his three NFL seasons. Wright seems to edge out the eight-year veteran Huff with half the NFL experience.
