Florida best team ?

[valdosta]

The USC team that lost to Texas was very good but not great. The offense was great but the defense had some games where they really tackled like shit. In fact that is a big reason why they lost to Texas. Sorry but that wasn't 1 of the better teams in the last couple decades.

BTW-It makes no sense for USC to be favored this year. Yeah there remaining schedule is a bunch of cupcakes. However, if you end up with Alabama or PSU undefeated or a big 12 or SEC team with 1 loss USC won't even get a chance to play for the title. For them to be favored is flat out silly.

Prodigy,

I agree USC had the better talent, but Texas won at the 4th best team in OSU that year.

My point is that if USC was not perceived as the greatest team ever, the way Texas played that year, they would have been hard pressed to be a dog against anyone.



On another note, i have hard time even putting that USC team with Miami 2001 and 2002. Nebraska 1995.

Nebraska had less talent in 1995 than USC 2005, but that Nebraksa team was awesome. Miami's talent is just stupid.

very good point re: miami.
that team was ridiculously good.
still think usc was the best team at least within the last 10 years. but that doesnt take anything away from the teams youve mentioned.

as far as usc/texas ... maybe the true line was -3.5 or -4 instead of 7 (im going purely on memory here but i think there might have been some early 7.5s on that game as well). trojans definitely got more recognition than that texas team, although i think it was well deserved. horns deserved their credit as well but usc still, imo, better and as i mentioned nearly won by DD. all in all, i think we're thinking along the same lines (as far as the original topic: lines and perception) so we're just making conversation here.

I love these early season arguments over who is best? Most of these teams have played maybe one quality opponent so far and the rest of the games have been non-conference against the " little sisters of the poor". Posters really show how bias they are with very little on field performances to base an opinion. Yea Fla looked good against what was thought to be a good LSU team, but the only team LSU has beaten is a terrible Auburn team. USC beat a Ohio st team that I think is about on Par with LSU. Alabama looked like they may be the best, but then we find out Clemson is shit. So Alabama has one quailty win over Georgia. Texas played nobody until Okla. and from what I saw both those teams have serious defensive problems which other decent Big Twelve teams may expose, but once again very little to compare, maybe Texas and Okla offense are that good? Penn St - played nobody.

Right now Fla, USC and Missisippi and Oregon st all have the same amount of quality wins.:missingte

I hate to bring back one of my old threads but I had a lot of sceptics giving me a hard time and saying I was over reacting to a great first half. Kinda curious what they think now ?
Are you still around TTinco and Old Man Ted ?

Absofuckinglutely... Florida is the best team in the Country right now.

Loved the timeouts at the end of the game.

I thought the timeouts were stupid and I think Urban Meyer and most Gator Fans acted like sissies about the whole incident the year before.So what the Georgia Players ran onto the field.If your feelings got that hurt about it then you still had 3 quarters last year to have gotten mad about it and done something THAT game.If upset you that bad you could have reacted then.That was the time to get mad.Why bitch about it for a year like some woman would do?

Last year Georgia exacted revenge on Florida for a number of ass-beatings that they had taken over the past 10 years or so. That kind of thing will happen in a rivalry.

Saturday was payback for the Gators and they got it. End of story.

I understand that all I am saying is if they were that offended and pissed off about the celebration then they could have responded that game and made Georgia pay then.Florida could have won the same game that Georgia did their celebration.That would have made Georgia look as damn foolish as you can get.Run onto the field and celebrate a TD and end up losing the game.
