I didn't think it was Buck, but whoever it is, when the BCS goes to a network that covers no college games in the regular season this is what you get (I'm not counting the regional FSNs).

I also thought the crew did a good job.

Ah, yes, deification is the primary role of an announcer.
I didn't know if I was watching a game or a three-hour tribute to Tebow. He must not be perfect, though--he got an idiotic and deserved USC towards the end of the game.

And what was with the split screen to show us how Oklahoma got the plays to Bradford? Oooohh, look, they don't huddle on offense! Nobody's done that before!
