<p>GLENDALE, Ariz. - For more than a month, the Florida Gators stewed in silence.</p>

<p>Asked about Heisman Trophy winner Troy Smith, they heaped on the praise. Asked about No. 1 Ohio State, they poured on the compliments.</p>

<p>When they got on the field Monday night, the Gators showed how they really felt.</p>

<p>Second-ranked Florida turned out to be way too good for the Buckeyes, embarrassing them 41-14 to run away with college football's national championship.</p>

<p>"Honestly, we've played a lot better teams than them," Florida defensive end Jarvis Moss said. "I could name four or five teams in the SEC that could probably compete with them and play the same type of game we did against them."</p>

<p>GLENDALE, Ariz. -- It would be an insult to Florida to say the Gators pulled a Villanova on Monday night.</p>
