The college football season concludes tonight with the BCS National Championship Game in Miami, Florida. The Big 12's Oklahoma Sooners and the SEC's Florida Gators will vye for the number one  BCS ranking at 8:00pm ET at Dolphin Stadium (FOX). College bowl picks at Sportsbook.com are favoring the Gators -5 against the spread.

Florida came into this season with high hopes after returning 16 starters from last year's 9-4 club, and a victory this evening would be the realization of those hopes. The Gators stormed through the regular season, going 11-1 overall and 7-1 in conference play to win the SEC East division and earn a spot in the SEC Championship Game versus Alabama. They beat the undefeated Crimson Tide to capture the conference title and, as a result, jumped to number two in the BCS standings. Urban Meyer's squad is currently ranked number one in the AP Poll.

Florida, whose only loss came in September against Ole Miss, is led by 2007 Heisman Trophy winner, junior quarterback Tim Tebow. Tebow threw for 2515 yards and 28 touchdowns (just two interceptions) to finish with a 176.7 passer rating. He also paced the Gators ground attack, which averages 229.8 yards per game, with 564 rushing yards and 12 rushing touchdowns.

The Sooners, who went 11-3 last year, had a remarkable, record setting regular season as they went 12-1 and scored an unprecedented 702 points. Oklahoma finished their conference schedule at 7-1, losing only to the Texas Longhorns in an October battle at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. Bob Stoops team, who garnered the Big 12 South title as a result of a tie breaker scenario, went on to capture their third straight Big 12 Championship by beating the Missouri Tigers 62-21 in the conference title match. Oklahoma is the number one ranked team in the BCS standings.

The 2008 Sooners became the first team in college football history to score 60 or more points in five straight games. They come into this BCS title game averaging 54 points and 562.1 yards per game. Sophomore quarterback Sam Bradford, this year's Heisman Trophy winner, threw for 4464 yards and an astounding 48 touchdowns.

Tulsa features a prolific offense, which racked up a staggering 565 yards per game and posted over 47 points per game.

Ball State finished just 7-6 in 2007, but they returned 18 starters from that unit, including this season's MAC Player of the Year, quarterback Nate Davis. The experience paid off for the Cardinals as they almost pulled off an undefeated season. The Cardinals went 8-0 in conference play to win the MAC West division and a clash with East division winner, Buffalo, in the conference title match. At 12-0, Ball State could not hold off the Bulls, losing 24-42.

The Cardinals are no slouch on offense either as they cranked out 459.4 yards per game and 36.6 points per outing.  Their defense also limited opponents to just 18.6 points per game.

Point-Spreads.com is issuing a Betting Odds and Point Spread Alert on the 2009 GMAC Bowl between Tulsa vs Ball State. The opening betting odds for the GMAC Bowl had Ball State -2.5 points against Tulsa.  The current point spreads at online sportsbook SBG Global show Tulsa -3 point favorites and the total listed at 74 points.

"The bookmakers clearly got the opening number wrong on the 2009 GMAC Bowl," stated Point-Spreads.com Publisher Thomas Jensen.  "The line opened with Ball State being the favorite but all the early betting action from the sharp professional sports bettors came in heavy on Tulsa after Ball State head coach Brady Hoke departed for San Diego State driving the line 5.5 points in the other direction making Tulsa the favorite. I would go with the sharps today in the GMAC Bowl."

Stan Parrish gets his first taste of being a head coach on Tuesday as Ball State takes on Tulsa in the GMAC Bowl.  Parrish was the Cardinals’ offensive coordinator until head coach Brady Hoke left for San Diego State. "Who would've thunk it?" said Parrish, "Brady (Hoke) leaves and I'm the head coach. It's just unbelievable. The football gods make things work in strange ways, don't they?" faces

SBG Global reports that early College Football betting has the public taking Tulsa at Home.

Both Tulsa and Ball State come into this bowl game off losses in their conference championship games.  Tulsa lost 27-24 to East Carolina in the Conference USA title game while Ball State lost the MAC Championship game to Buffalo by a score of 42-24.

Tulsa was able to win ten games this season and the success got head coach Todd Graham a new 10-year contract. The Golden Hurricane’s 10th victory was a 63-7 destruction of Bowling Green. "This is the best offense we've faced since I've been at Ball State, the most diverse," Parrish said, "It's different. We've got a heck of a challenge in front of us. Just one year ago, I thought Bowling Green had a pretty fair football team and Tulsa ran them right out of that stadium."  Tulsa is second in the country in total offense at 565 yards per game and second in scoring offense at 47.4 points per game. Freshman receiver/return man Damaris Johnson led Conference USA with 2,201 all-purpose yards.

 “The Buckeyes and Longhorns have played just twice in their history with each team winning once,” stated Point-Spreads.com Publisher Thomas Jensen when asked to comment on the 2009 Fiesta Bowl match up between OhioState vs Texas. “The Longhorns have a chance to make a statement after being pushed out of the BCS Title Game.  The early betting action has been coming in on Ohio State driving the line down from 10.5 to 8 points making the Buckeyes the wise guy play of the night.  Despite this line move, I believe Colt McCoy will carry the Longhorns to a victory however covering the spread might not be in his cards tonight.” 

 The Buckeyes are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The Buckeyes are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 vs. the Big 12. The Buckeyes are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 non-conference games.  Online sportsbook SBG Global has the money line betting odds on Ohio State +250 odds.

 “Ohio State features a ground oriented offensive attack that averaged 191.6 rushing yards per game and generated 28.2 points per contest during the regular season,” stated Point-Spreads.com College Football Betting Expert Matt Foust when asked to comment on the 2009 Fiesta Bowl match up between Ohio State vs Texas. “The Buckeyes, however, are known more for their stout defense, that limited teams a mere 13.1 points per game and held opposing rushing attacks to a lowly 73.6 yards per outing. The Texas defense was certainly no sloutch either. The tough unit held teams to an average of just 18.6 points per game in the high-flying, quick scoring Big 12 South.”

The Longhorns are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 non-conference games. The Longhorns are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games overall. The Longhorns are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 Bowl games as a favorite. The Longhorns are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 vs. the Big Ten. Online sportsbook SBG Global has the money line betting odds on Texas -300 odds.

"It's time for us to put behind us all the BCS stuff and move forward and look forward to a great game," stated Texas Longhorns head coach Mack Brown. "The BCS doesn't satisfy everybody. We've been on the positive side of it a few times. We've been on the negative side a few times….He's (Colt McCoy) been the heart of our offense. He means to this team what Vince Young meant to the one in 2005. ... I can't imagine a player that means more to his team than Colt does to ours."
