Sloppy, choppy game leaves Florida as winner

MIAMI: Top-ranked Florida won a second national college football championship in three years by beating No 2 Oklahoma 24-14 in a choppy, sloppy affair on Thursday.

But the title match did little to quiet fans of Southern California, Utah and Texas, all of whom claim to be the champion in college football's controversial non-playoff system.

The high-scoring shootout between Heisman Trophy winners never materialized. Oklahoma's Sam Bradford couldn't score from in close and Tim Tebow threw two interceptions, as many as he had all season.
