    3-0 vs top 10? Didn't you lose to Georgia recently?

    But I don't have anything against the UF schedule, and besides UF there are 14 other teams with tougher schedules than ND, Alabama, KSU and Oregon.

    The data I posted is only the top 4 teams.

    Georgia is #11 in Sagarin's poll and surprisingly TexA&M is #7.
    So according to Sagarin we are 3-1 vs. the top 30.

    Florida played in succession numbers 10, 8, 43 and 11.

    By the time the Gators got to #42 Missouri they looked out of gas.

    By contrast Georgia played only SC (and got their ass handed to em ) and played lowly Ky the week before playing Florida.

    The Dawgs will win the East this year almost by default having not played even one of the top four teams in the SEC West.

    Such is life in the SEC.

    So in other words, Florida lost to an overated Georgia team?

    Take this test, which lists some of the stats for the 4 undefeated teams in the NC race. But they just give you the facts and not the names assoc with the facts.

    You might be surprised who you pick. I ended up with KState and Notre Dame.

    Blind Test for who should be in the NC Game

    The facts of course can change after this weekend resulting in different teams being picked.

    I had ND and KState as well

    Also, looking at the tabulations. so did 61% of the people taking this so far. The next closest was teams A and E at 13%.

    If someone gets a chance at Alabama this year in the BCS Title game they need to take the Tide down and therefore take the SEC down a peg so that considerations can be made to other teams and conferences and then comparisons such as this would allow another team to compete for the BCS Title.

    Think of it this way.... if the SEC had no titles in the past 6 years... maybe lost in three title games.......while the Big 12 had two titles and Notre Dame had two titles in those six years would anyone complain if Bama were at #4 and on the outside looking in?

    Other conferences didn't have much of a chance last year did they?

    I'll bet they did before BCS selection Sunday but they screwed the pooch on the way there down the stretch.

    Just like if Oregon, ND, and KState all were to lose this year on the way to the BCS selection show then what happens if Florida wins every game and goes 11-1? You don't wanna know..... :wink: 8)

    Or, you could just invite Texas A&M into the conference and have them take Bama down a peg.

    A&M did everyone a favor.

    Now the pressure is on the three unbeatens to take advantage.

    Hey... maybe I wouldn't want to hear how Oregon schooled the Tide anyway.

    For now we can just sit back and wonder what if and maybe conjecture that if Bama had made the BCS Title game then Oregon would have been toast because Bama is all about the SEC....yada yada etc etc :wink: 8) :D
