    Of course no other reason..... :wink: :D

    But... I will say that I take several looks at these types of ratings during the basketball season.....every season.....because not only am I curious about where UF stands certainly but it is pretty indicative usually of where the NCAA will be seeding teams for the tournament.

    Then there is ESPN Bracketology:

    Dave you are a big SOS guy, right? I can't help but notice the UF SOS is 104. Does UF only play home games in non-conf?

    In OOC UF played Wisconsin, at-Arizona, at-Kansas St, FSU, Marquette and had Georgetown on a carrier deck get cancelled in the first half due to moisture on the court.

    It's a strong enough OOC but the SEC this year in BB is perceived to be fairly weak so they get no kudos for the SEC BB schedule.

    BB is a much different story than football in the SEC this year.

    #1 seems to be such a precarious perch to hold on to this BB season.

    The NCAA Tourney should be a blast to watch.

    Good luck picking your brackets...... :wink: :lol:
