Congratulations 24-14 vs. Oklahoma U.
The Gators win their second national championship in the past three years and third in school history.
• Florida is the fourth school in the modern era to win two outright national titles in three years, joining Oklahoma (1955, 1956), Miami (1987, 1989) and Nebraska (1994, 1995).
• Florida finished the 2008 season with a 13-1 record, matching the single-season school record for wins (also 13-1 in 2006).
• Tim Tebow became the fifth player since 1950 to win a Heisman Trophy and two national titles, joining Reggie Bush, Matt Leinart, Gino Torretta and Johnny Rodgers.
• Thursday's win makes Urban Meyer the fifth active FBS coach with multiple national titles, and the fifth coach since the AP poll began in 1936 to win two national championships in his first four seasons at a school.
