I’m excited for this super bowl.
But I was excited for Broncos/Seahawks as well.
2004 BCS title game: Two blue-blood. Undefeated Southern California vs. undefeated Oklahoma . Each team has TWO Heisman trophy winners in it's backfield: Matt Leinhart and Reggie Bush for USC and Jason White and Adrian Peterson for OU, (although Peterson didn't stay long enough to get his- he was actually the best of the four). Just sit back and watch one of the greatest games ever player. Result: Trojans 55 Sooners 19.
2005 BCS title game. Two undefeated blue bloods again: USC and Texas, both averaging 50 points a game. the Trojans still have Leinhart and Bush. Texas counters with Vince Young. But Texas is from the same conference as Oklahoma and I figure USC will do to them what they did to OU. Result: Longhorns 41 Trojans 38. Greatest game of all time.
You just don't know, although Super Bowls, which once had a reputation for being one-sided, have tended to be excellent games in recent years. I've never been quite sure what that changed but it did in the mid-90's.
