When you peruse the preseason rankings that are out for next year you get the reason why there is bound to be a controversy about Boise all season long if they get by Va Tech: http://www.nationalchamps.net/2010/earlybird/index.htm http://collegefootball.about.com/od/schools/tp/rankings-preseason.htm http://collegefootball.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1037628 http://www.collegefootballsaturday.com/?p=172 One other note....most say Bama has lost 7 starters on defense. They like Fla have experienced returnees who happened not to be starters but may be just as good as what left.
Tom, For the most part the lists are pretty realistically put together. Most have Bama at the top but one has Boise. I like Ohio State myself as a preseason favorite.
Gators travel to Knoxville! They will have to be outfitted with Garmins and parkas. An over nighter! 8)
George, I must say that the meaning of those comments is a mystery to me. I know that the Gators travel to Knoxville this year. But what was the meaning of Garmins and Parkas? :?
I mean that the Gators rearely travel far from home and a trip all the way to Knoxville is quite an undertaking for them. They may need help finding it and they might want to dress warmly since the game time temp ,may be below 80. 8)
Gators have won 4 out of the last 5 in K-ville and the one loss was.......well....just let me say........close. :wink:
Dooley will dress up to look like his Dad for the game, Gators will look over there and see the old nemesis and fold!
Ahhhh I see George... I forgot the "relative" factor. I was thinking: "September in Knoxville can be quite warm and Parkas didn't click. Relative to Florida temps... I see. I had a feeling about the travel issues coinciding with garmin, but the Parkas had me clueless. Terry, nothing would make me happier. However, you know this: With the one that will remain nameless, we could win by 30 points and there would be 31 points caused by bad calls. :roll: :wink:
Pleeeaase Terry.......no suggestions.... And Tom....you didn't win by a non-contestable 30. You know the details.
... see what I mean Terry. It doesn't matter if we win by 3 or 30, at least one more point will be contestable than what we win by... and I was wrong on one point... it wouldn't stop in 2020... we would stop hearing about it until 2040! :roll:
Uh......you won by 2. Big difference Tom......come on. Anyway 4 of 5 ain't bad up in the "frozen north".
Kp....at least Bama won the game in Atlanta fair and square. No need for the refs to intervene on your behalf. 8)
