ope:
Major Wright is pretty damn good too..I've watched both of UF's games this year along with Both of USC's and pretty much every other game in the nation, and on a scale of 1-10 UF is a 10 with the next team coming in at an 7 tops.
UF is on a whole different level, and then the rest are interchangable
Did you watch the game? Let me back up...I'm not going to say UFs offense played especially well. They didn't. The O didn't get clicking until the 4Q of the Arky game. Lets not forget Demps didn't play against UT last year. Anyway, Meyer did as he often does in games and that's bleed the clock. UF ran, ran, and ran some more. No timeouts on either side means a quick, low scoring game. Game barely ran over 3hrs where most are breaking over 3.5hrs.
well, the way i see it, this game shapes up a lot like the south carolina game did last year, which the gators won 56-6. I don't think tennessee's defense is any better than SC's was last year, and honestly, the offenses are comparable too.and the hatred levels/ intangibles are all there too. but look at the team totals for florida in every game since the ole miss loss last year and when they figured things out against arkansas..then consider that this team is more loaded, more prepared, more experienced than that year's team, and has lost the innane playcalling of dan mullen. I really don't see any way that florida scores less than 42 points, but most likely will score 49, 52, or more..
on the other side of the coin, florida has, by orders of magnitude, the absolute best defense in the country, perhaps of all time. Considering what they accomplished last year, and the shocking fact that 3 or 4 NFL 1st rounders decided to stay in college another year to play with all of the rest of the 11 returning starters on defense, only a complete idiot could debate this point. But these debates are always welcome, because to hear from such fade material truly is, umm, every gambler's dream
anyways, bottom line as far as this side of the ball goes, is that tenn. will not score a damn thing. In kiffin's coming out party, in front of 100000 screaming fans, they managed 15 points against...UCLA. My prediction here is that there is no way in hell tennessee scores more than 14 points, but in this environment, against this defense, most likely will score 0,3,6, or 7.
there is no way this game ends up closer than 42-14. But since i do see that score as a somewhat possible scenario (although very unlikely), i sure would hate to lose this thing by half a point..
does anyone think it will drop to 28 even at some point?

yeah, all time is definitely debatable and remains to be seen, but they are surely good enough to shut these guys down!
and as to the spread, I will definitely be playing it big either way, but i would probably play it even bigger, like GOY big if I knew the 42-14 scenario would only mean a push...the cheapest that I have seen to buy a point is at -120, which would be patently retarded for a spread as big as 28.5 (maybe buy down a -3.5 in the NFL or something, but not 28.5 in CFB!). Still loving the game though.:toast:

Fade material? Please, I am not a biased homer flaunting a defense that faced mostly garbage offenses. Save the excuse of how their D made them look bad. These offenses did not play Florida every week.
They have a ton of talent, no questioning that. However to say they are close to being the best of all time shows true fade material. When you win consistently every year doing it in a way that most so called experts & money management kings swear is doomed to fail, then come talk to me about who is & is not fade material.
