In his final coaches ballot, Nebraska Coach Bo Pelini gave some Sooners the nod.

"It’s no secret I voted Oklahoma No. 1," Pelini said. "I played them. And I know Florida from my experience in the SEC as a helluva football team."

OU and the Gators, both 12-1, will square off in the BCS National Championship. Although it beat Oklahoma, Texas (12-1) was left out.

"I know Texas is helluva a football team," Pelini said. "It’s a shame they’re not in it. USC’s very good. They’re No. 1 in the country in total defense.

"...It’s not a perfect system.There are going to be a lot of arguments for that matchups and against that matchup. You can’t have everybody in the game. Only two spots."
