I'm not some homer or anything. If Florida sucked, I'd say it. I'm usually very critical of my own teams and have faded the Heat this year, and made good money so far. I'm also very critical of the Gators, especially on their message boards, although I dont post under the same name. But not this year.
Their kicker is terrible, he's the worst. He was the man last year, he made almost every field goal, but he has mental issues this year. That's not really an issue for them right now, theyve only tried 8 field goals this year and he's made the important ones. He doesnt factor much.
But they beat LSU and Tenn. and other SEC teams "beat up on each other" so how does that discredit their wins vs. these teams? They went out, regardless of what other teams do, and they beat them. Now they dont get credit for that? If anything, because the SEC beats up on each other and they have found a way to take all of these SEC teams and continue to beat them and not get beat up on, doesnt that prove that they are actually more worthy wins?
The QB thing is the greatest thing that ever happened to this year's team. You have a consistent passer like Leak who will break every UF passing record and has been a 4-year starter. He is calm, and cool, and very accurate.
Then you have a stud freshman who is getting some playing time so he has some experience for next year. He has turned 3rd and short into an automatic first down. Every team would love to have that. He has turned inside the opponents 5 yard line into an automatic TD. He single handedly won the LSU game. I dont see how that is a flaw? Everyone is very happy with it.
I mean, I guess it's better to be like Texas and beat some mediocre team 66-0, and then lose 2 games? Defense never gets press. And defense is what wins. You wouldnt know that listening to ESPN.
West Virginia and Lousiville got all of the love, and what? Great offenses. Great. Where are they now?
Texas Colt McCoy and all sorts of BS...66-0 and huge blowout final scores...wow it looks pretty, but they lacked toughness and they didnt know how to win close ones...where are they now?
A lot of teams could easily be 8-2, 7-3. If Pete Caroll coached Washington, and he came back to USC, that would have been an interesting game, too. USC had a couple of struggles around the Oregon State game.
Notre Dame was getting shit kicked by one of the worst NCAA teams in Michigan State. Just flat out shit kicked.
Florida has never been out of any game, their loss was to a legit team in their backyard, not to some unranked scrub team that exposed them, and there has only been 1 game all year where they were pretty much losing on the scoreboard most of the game, and that was last game and it was a very close back and forth game and obviously a win. They were beating Auburn up pretty good 1st half and didnt allow any offensive scores. Other than that, they've done nothing but go out with one of the countrys top schedules and go 9-1, beating 2 top 10 teams 4 top 25 teams and 6 teams with winning records along the way. If they were a fraud, they would have been long exposed by now. Winning close games is not a flaw, it is a strength, and strength most championship teams exhibit, starting with a great example of the White Sox in baeball last year.
Anyway, just my 200 cents.
