07:59 AM ET 01.10 | Urban Meyer now has 100,000 reasons to hold a grudge against Oregon. [Meyer] contract stipulates that he earns a $250,000 bonus for finishing in the top two of the AP poll. With the two top-ranked teams -- Notre Dame and Alabama -- playing each other for the championship, the Buckeyes would have had a chance to do that. Alabama's 42-14 blowout victory did drop Notre Dame behind Ohio State, the only undefeated team in the Football Bowl Subdivision. But Oregon's impressive 35-17 victory over Kansas State in the Fiesta Bowl was enough for the 60 AP media voters to push the previously fifth-ranked Ducks comfortably ahead of the Buckeyes. ... Still, Meyer will collect $150,000 for finishing in the top 10 of the final rankings.

Urban isn't stupid, he knows that his team would have gotten handled by a couple teams in the top 5. To many (including myself) this year was a good thing, Meyer got to see what his team is capable of doing without a ton of scrutiny hanging over his head. Once his recruits start making their way to the field this is going to be on hell of a team!!!

Played 6 out of the top 15. No team on that list is even close. It might have been a dumpster fire of a bowl game but UF had a heck of a run this season.

Agree...UF played a tough schedule...Bama, not so much. Only two 'til the CCG and NCG.
If you look at the SEC schedules closely, UF, LSU and aTm all had tougher SEC scheds than Bama. Not even close.
Royal screw job IMHO.
