The Game was played right here in Tempe, AZ at Sun Devil Stadium. The Buckeyes weren't given a chance by anyone in that game, but they won sending the overconfident Miami Hurricanes home stunned and upset. Sound familiar?
No...but if it was the the Miami Hurricanes, no respectable GATOR would have been watching....as in my 2 favorite teams are the GATORS and whoever is playing against Miami (unless of course, that opponent is Notre Dame - then there is nobody to root for!)

Sound Familiar comment - What I meant Ken, was the comparison between the Miami vs. Ohio State national championship game in 2003 and the Ohio State vs. Florida game this year. In 2003 Miami was THE team and practically everyone felt they would win. Many felt OSU wasn't big enough or fast enough to play with Miami. Ohio State came in and found a way to win and surprised everyone. The year was 2003 by the way (I was off a year).
Now flash ahead to 2007. Same Phoenix area, different stadium. Ohio State rolls in and not many expect Florida to win the game. Including the team from Ohio. Florida embarrasses the Buckeyes and totally dominates them. That's what I meant by "sound familiar" (as in comparison to 2003 in reverse).
To bring you up to date:
Ohio State Beat Miami in the 2003 Fiesta BCS title game 31 to 24
Ohio State Beat Kansas State in the 2004 Fiesta Bowl 35 to 28
Ohio State Beat Norte Dame in the 2006 Fiesta Bowl 34 to 20
Ohio State Lost to Florida in the BCS title game in 2007 41 to 14
(all these games were played in Tempe and Glendale, AZ)
