Good point about the record, Jeff. I’m pretty tired hearing about our non-conference schedule. Let’s see what these fools have to say in September 08.

Any, it’s always great to hear from a Sooner fan.

Teams that Florida has beat

Western Kentucky (7-5)
Troy (8-3)
Tennessee (9-3)
Ole Miss (3-9)
Kentucky (7-5)
Vanderbilt (5-7)
South Carolina (6-6)
FAU (0-11)
Florida St (7-5)

Teams Florida has lost to
Auburn (8-4)
LSU (10-2)
Georgia (10-2)

The only flaw I see is Tennessee…but it sure looks to me like Florida always beats the average-to-bad teams, and always loses to the good teams. They’re WAY overrated in EVERY poll.

And seriously, they complain about OUR non-conference schedule? Troy, Western Kentucky, FAU, and FSU (who is 7th in the weak ACC)????

Florida could be too high. I think we just like the way they’re playing right now. There’s no doubt in my mind that the Gators wouldn’t absolutely destroy VaTech and Kansas, so you at least have to put them at 8. I think they would beat LSU right now, so there’s 7. Then maybe a toss-up with USC — they’re both playing about as well as anyone right now.

If we had a playoff, we’d have the glorified betting guides that are the college hoops polls and this would all be for naught.

Polls always have been and always will be a ridiculous way to settle a sport championship.

I wasn’t trying to imply that they were undefeated… Just that on any given day, Florida playing their best, could beat anyone. Fuck White/Slaton. Tebow scares me more.

Dave…..LSU, Georgia, and Auburn for starters.

Harold…..I have no life outside of college football and my girlfriend frequently wants to kill me during this time of year. I’m also lucky enough to have a job in which I can listen to sports radio almost all day while I work.

I agree that Florida is a little high… But can you honestly tell me that there isn’t a team in the nation that they couldn’t beat?

WIL - Are they hiring where you “work” ? Great points.

Florida is WAAAAAYYYY to hi. They beat a crappy FSU team, they have 3 losses, they have no business being ranked higher than USC, LSU, Kansas, or Va Tech. They should be dropped down to number 10. USC beat ASU this week, LSU previously beat Florida, Kansas only has 1 loss, & Va Tech beat Virginia this week. Tebow is really good there is no question, but I’m really baffled by your moving Florida up 5 spots for spanking unranked FSU while you let Va Tech (who also spanked FSU) sit after spanking 16th ranked Virginia.

Go Sooners!! Take out Mizzou and then someone get the Illinois tape and figure out how to get that right!
If we thought Juice was a nightmare…..
Slaton and White will make us wish we were dreaming.

However if not, we can kind of play for the real national title against USC in the Rose Bowl. That would truely be the matchup of the 2 best teams in the country anyway.
