Since last year at this time? This year will be more anticipated than that. Last year you had another major conference BCS team that was undefeated, so it wasn't quite as decisive. Plus, I think going into the game last year the overwhelming feeling was that USC was the better team, whereas this year most people think that the national championship game will be very competitive. Wasn't USC and Okla 1 and 2 when the season started? And didn't we hear all year about how great that game would be? It was hyped all year long, just as this one was. This one will be just as anticipated as last years but I don't see it being more anticipated. Just my opinion though. This year is more anticipated by me, because I was pretty sure USC would wax Oklahoma. I think in general that game was just as anticipated as this one will be though.
