I'd rather play any of those over UVA.  I'd prefer ND most.
If OU is not in the CFP, my default preference would be to play Notre Dame--no matter how good or bad--every year.  We're something like 2-9 against the Irish all-time, and that's a record that needs adjusting.
I would love to see OU play Notre Dame in the NC game some day.

You beat OU in the 2008 BCS NC game which was played at the Orange Bowl.
Yeah, that's probably where I get my lack of respect for video-game number offenses.  I was talking about proper, official OBs.

The score was 24-14.  Pretty much dominated by defenses.  I don't know how you could come away from that feeling lack of respect.

Yeah, no love for ND, I just want payback.
At the end of the '91 season, Florida actually had a chance at the NC.  If Miami lost the Orange and Washington lost the Rose, Florida was 3rd.  It's possible Michigan would have jumped Florida by beating UW, but I doubt it.  UF sort of had the same issue as this year - playing #18 ND for whatever reason.  #1 Miami played #11 Nebraska.

Alas, Miami shut out UNL and UW spanked Desmond Howard and UM.  Jerome Bettis had 2 long FB dive TDs in the 4th quarter.  The Gators lost because we kicked like 6 FGs in the first half, while totally dominating in yardage.

OU's "we score 60 points every week" offense putting up 14.

IIRC, Florida was in the top 5 in scoring offense that year.

This is another one of those data points that doesn't fit your preferred narrative, but you twist it out of shape to make it fit anyway.

I was just sharing, wasn't saying it was right or wrong. 
You must have forgotten how OU's offense was all anyone was talking about.  Or maybe I'm remembering it wrong.  I wasn't trying to poke you or anything.
.
Looking back at it, Florida held 5 opp to under 10 points that year - all P5 teams.  OU only held 1 to under 10 points, and it was UT-Chattanooga in the opener.  So yes, while both teams had big offenses, I was assuming our defense would be the difference.  Both defenses played better than expected, but in the end the bigger offense coming in scored just twice.  
.
Fans of opposing teams are going to often come away with different opinions having seen the same game, no?

Can’t somebody make a phone call and put Texas vs. Texas A&M in the freaking Texas Bowl?

Is that not the most obvious match up in the whole damn world?

Could have happened two other times in the Texas Bowl in recent years, but hasn't...

The wife and I bought our plane tickets for the Gator Bowl last night. I'm pretty excited. It's not often that IU goes to a bowl game and its even more rare that I would be able to attend. The schedule worked out just right for us this year.
