How do people come up with these conclusions after actually watching the game? Yeah the score looked bad but the Gators had 3 INT's and fumbled the ball 3 more times, losing it once. Some were critical, you have to score when down in the redzone, that jump pass was instrumental in this game getting away from them. Bama had ZERO turnovers. Sure it's part of the game but to see a Gator team come off a 24 game regular season winning streak yet be unable to realize that isn't or won't be par for the course is absurd. Florida (a very young team with no Rainey, an injured Demps and a center in Pouncey that is NOT a center) OUTGAINED this team!! Sure they lost, they deserved to lose, but to say they got destroyed is not even close to what happened on the field. They are young and made too many mistakes, not going to beat Bama that way. They'd beat Michigan by 30 points not to mention several other teams that were mentioned.

1. Yes, SCOREBOARD means much more than who had the most first downs............HOLY COW.
2. For the 7th time, not basing it on ONE GAME.
Look, it's not like I'm saying Florida should be ranked out of the TOP 25 and perhaps not even out of the TOP 20.........just not in the TOP 15 at this time...........somewhere from 16th-20th range would be more logical than #12.
I would rank two teams directly behind them in the Coaches Poll ahead of them at this time FOR CERTAIN........MIAMI, FLA, and ARKANSAS,......... ..........so basically would have them ranked 15th TOPS if I were making out a current TOP 25.........and then I would have to at least consider 1-5 other teams possibly being ranked higher then them also.
Considering what they have done thus far on the field, a 16th ranking is something they should be very thankful for.................Comment -
tebow was only arguably the most important player to one team in the history of college football. yet people think you just reload that player, sorry charlie. you can reload every other position except qb, and magnify that 5 times on that team and that offense. anyone that thought they were going to be dominant this year (against quality teams) just doesn't get it and probably never played organized sports. you can add multiple defensive nfl starters and offensive players that are not on the team either. florida is a top 25 team that is all from the beginning. throw away your copies of sports illustrated and shut off espn.Comment -
LSU on talent is very good, Les Miles might be the worst coach ever tho lmao he drags that team down so muchComment -

Fish - I'm bored with you but I have a hard time believing you think Michigan, Nevada, Stanford, Wisky, Mich State, Utah, SCar, Arizona, Auburn, Nebraska, Nevada and so on are better based on losing one game to the best team in college football. One good thing about your position is they play LSU this weekend and since they are ranked 9th/12th or whatever, you should absolutely clean up this week betting against those pathetic Gators. I doubt Florida wins another game this year eh? Congrats on all the loot.Comment -
I'm almost pulling for Iowa to finally win a title this century. Obviously the Gators having 2 in the last 4 years and the SEC overall winning all of the the last 4 has people upset. Sorry boys, best conference in college football by far. This is a down year, I admit that, but still head and shoulders the toughest conference to play (and win) in. Not even a close second. 'Nuff said.Comment -

I think their defense is really good. A really good defense and a running back that could hit the homerun at any time is a dangerous threat.Comment -
Sagarin has Florida ranked 4th best in the nation. After reading comments from the casual fans (AKA posters) it's nice to hear from a real pro.

You're embarrassing yourselves, Cornhuskers have played the 134th worst schedule in college football. There's bad schedules then there's BAD SCHEDULES! In short they've probably played that chick softball team I was talking about earlier.....Comment -

RIGHT NOW, they are not a TOP TEN team...........not in my mind, not in the AP, not in the COACHES POLL.

They still have to play LSU, USC and FSU. You won't find too many other teams that has to play 3 tough games. Plus the SECCG. If they're not top 20 like you said, they should lose to all 3 which would kill any chance of a top 14 ranking...Comment -

I am stoned, and I think florida could beat all of those teams you listed. They will get their chance to play south carolina later on in the season since it is a divisional matchup. I can tell you USCeast does not have what it takes to beat UF. Florida will play in a new years bowl, possibly against another one of those teams you have listed, so they will get the chance to prove you wrong. I am a Bama fan, and yes uf got their ass kicked, but none of those teams you listed I can see beating florida. They still have one of the fastest defenses in the country. When a team has line backers that run 4.4's and DE that runs 4.5 that makes it very hard to move the football for the opponent. I dont see any of those teams you listed being evenly matched with florida, maybe wisconsin is close but the rest are not even close.Comment -

They may not be the best team in the big 10, but they do have a strong running game. They may have the best running team in the big 10 by the end of the year. They have good size on both OL and DL, and have for a while now been a dominant running team, which in my mind is tougher to beat considering running is running the clock, and usually runs the game.Originally posted by Fishhead

There's only 2 teams in the country that play more top 25 teams than UF... Iowa and Michigan.
First you said they weren't a top 20 team, then you said they should be around 15, now your saying they're not a Top Ten team??? I guess next you'll tell us they're not number 1, captain obvious.Comment -

Why are you laughing....they still could be the 4th best team in the conference.
If they lose next week at Iowa, there will be at LEAST three teams ahead of them in the conference............and they are not a favorite to win next weekend.Comment -

In all liklihood, they will not recieve any votes in either the AP or COACHES poll this coming week............as I can't imagine anyone voting for them in their TOP 25 AT THIS TIME(unless Patrick McFiddle has a vote, lol).
By the way, going back to the Wisky comments, although they will be a small underdog at Iowa, it is my belief that WISKY has a 50-50 shot at winning that game or BETTER.
Iowa's linebacking group will have to be much healthier and better than they were against MICH, as even though the Hawkeyes defeated MICH by 10 pts, it was probably the worst overall defensive effort I've seen from this club in possibly 2.5 years......and their DL, regarded as the best in the nation by some, produced no real pressure for most of the day, even though I do realize they were in contain mode and tired from chasing the overrated DROB.Comment -
Gators are banged up and their offense would have trouble scoring on anyone right now. Brantley isn't the guy for the system, their oline is so bad it's baffling, and the guy calling the plays is almost as bad as Mike Bobo. The defense is still good despite getting put in bad situation after bad situation. The off week comes at a much needed time.
If Georgia handles UK next week the cocktail party will be much closer than I thought it'd be.Comment -
You would have had easy money...Originally posted by Fishhead
But, it's not on the players. It's totally on the coaches. UF should be 6-1 right now. The coaching staff has failed them. They allowed a fake FG against LSU? Then they keep calling option plays for Brantley when it's clear to everyone that he's not an option QB. Burton comes in and the offense immediately gets a spark but they continue to pound a square peg in a round hole with Brantley. 7 total points against MSU? That's horseshit.
I thought for sure that today's headlines would have read that Steve Addazio was run out of town

osu plays @minny, psu, @iowa, mich (@iowa will be iowa last home game this year think they will go down easy? hell no)
