Really? When I picture this game, I picture myself watching a typical game of Madden '08 - really high scores and the last team with the ball wins by a touchdown.
Mark my words: each team's score will be evenly divisibly by 7.

Ha ha!
That's awesome.
Actually, that's what I originally thought. But for whatever reason my gut it saying there's going to be a lot less scoring than we all think.
I'm sure I'll be wrong, which is why I never predict scores. Heh heh.
At least Oklahoma's score - they haven't attempted many field goals this year, and they haven't been altogether impressive in the kicking game (three missed field goals and five missed extra points), so yeah, they'll probably fit your pattern.
I'm an OU grad, and I know about their recent BCS woes - but I've watched them improve over the course of the last several games. I'll admit I haven't seen Florida all that much, but I do know that containing Tebow will definitely be a chore. It'll be good to have Austin Box back at MLB.
If the line can protect Bradford, and Madu does a good job filling in for Murray at TB, then I think the Sooners can hang. I do believe, however, that the 60+ point streak comes to an end.
It'll be very close, back-and-forth, for the first three quarters, much like the OU-OSU game. One of these two will pull away in the 4th. My pick is the Sooners, 49-38.
(NOTE: I have money in Vegas on the Sooners. Last time OU went to Miami for the NC as an underdog against a Florida team was the 2001 Orange Bowl - a 13-2 victory over FSU. Boomer Sooner!)

Those Ducks are going to find out what it's like to play on The Blue, and it's not going to be a pleasant ride back to Eugene for them.
I will take that. As long as the gators loose I really don't care what the score is!
i say that the gators win (boo), 42-21. bob stoopes is a bowl flop, and tebow will not let himself lose another game.
After the weak Texas performance over a weak Ohio State, I suspect OU will be lucky to stay within two touchdowns:
Florida 42, Oklahoma 24.
Utah then splits the title with Florida.

Not necessarily disrespecting your pick, but how does the outcome of the Texas/Ohio State game affect tonight's game at all?
Man ESPN and FOX all they are mainly showing is Gators coverage
What is up with that??
Let me guess? Tebow. Tebow. Tebow.
Damn it,, stuff on 4th and goal...... I like the tempo the sooners are running at right now...... good pace. Lets see if they can keep it up!
Sure are a lot of penalties. Also, seems the refs aren't quite in control of the game. Needs to run smoother! Both are playing their hearts out.
That's what they get for being arrogant and going for it on 4th down, instead of taking the 3 points. I love it!
OMG The God has thrown more interceptions in one game than the whole year! What is the college football world going to do!?!?!
Sports commentators are going to freak out next year when they don't have some dudes dick to jump on.
OU has looked alot more impressive offensively and defensively. Having their way with UF until they get to the 5 yd line. could very easily be 21-7 ou
any coach in their right mind would have done the same

Well... it's half time and it's still 7-7. I can't believe Florida just picked off the throw to get a touchdown! I'm so mad.
OU was one of the best red zone offenses all season. The two red zone possessions with no points has me worried.
I'm also surprised at the defenses - OU is moving the ball okay, but Tebow's two picks are either a subpar performance on his part or the OU defense is better than many realized.
One more half to go! BOOMER SOONER!
