You have another Gators fan here because I think that Florida can double up and win another title to go along with their basketball championship.

i agree that they're overrated.  they have a particularly weak schedule.  pollsters are giving them credit for improving during the season, but the main problem is that the way the polls work, if you get a top spot early, you hold it unless you lose.  i think texas has a chance to prove that it deserves the ranking in the next few weeks, but i would like to see a deserving team run the table (Florida, Auburn, Arkansas, maybe even USC or Cal) and jump above Texas in the rankings.  www.benfunkelongboards.com  /  nfrmain

I think SEC football still better than their basketball.  Eventhough only the Gators are undefeated in the conference, most of the SEC's football teams are tougher than any other conference.

Nope. They better get used to the NIT.  They've been declining in the last few years even with Huggs.  Keep an eye on Kansas.  They'll make it next year.

I'm not a Gator fan, but they totally dominated everyone they played against in this tournament (Georgetown lost to them by 4, but no one else came within single digits).\n\nThe championship game was over less than halfway through the first half. UCLA brought nothin'.\n\nI don't know if anyone on Florida can hit a 12 foot shot from the baseline, but they sure can dunk and they sure can shoot them threes...\n\nThey have an excellent chance to repeat next year, as they are young, and I don't think any of their underclassmen will be going to the NBA next year...\n\nI haven't checked the record books, but it seems like the Gators had one of the most dominating runs in recent tournament history.

I am a little shaky about the Texas QB sitution, they have good but raw QBs who still need to improve. Look out for Romance Talyor, Selvin Young, Charles to step up their game and watch out for the defense including players such as Al Harris, a rising star.

McFadden is awesome. And so are Felix Jones, and Marcus Monk. I think the Hawgs got a little too lax after they clenched a spot at the SEC title match - but they'll be back strong over the Gators.

I wouldve taken KC as u did but with the way they played last time in mile high i wouldve taken the under. As for the Canes, it feels as if Duke could beat them in football, they're jus hopeless.

they have a chance, but are in a tough division. Pitt, Cinci and Balt are all looking like above 500 teams this year. if they can beat each tof these 3 teams, they'll have a chance

We need a playoff system, for certain, but the rankings are as they should be.  It's not a one-game season, like all of the Michigan and Florida fans want to say; it's a 12-game season, and each game matters.\n\nAll of the Michigan fans want everyone to forget that they almost lost to Ball State, or looked very unimpressive in wins over Minnesota and Northwestern, two very bad teams.  The Florida fans want you to forget unimpressive wins over South Carolina or Florida State, or even that they stooped so low to play a bad I-AA team in Western Carolina.\n\nThey neglect to mention that USC only played two teams with losing records this season (Washington and Stanford) or that their three non-conference opponents all still have a chance to get into a BCS bowl game, all the while only playing 6 home games.  Michigan faced 5 teams who ended up with losing records and 7 home games.  Florida played 7 home games and one neutral site game while facing 3 teams with losing records.\n\nFlorida, in my opinion, has much reason to gripe than Michigan does.  The Gators will have faced 4 teams currently in the Top 25 while Michigan will only have played 3, and the Gators are in a much tougher conference, where their schedule had them avoiding both Mississippi schools and Arkansas (who of course they will play Saturday).\n\nBottom line: USC deserves to be #2 and should they beat UCLA, play for the national title in the screwed-up system we have.\n\nAnd, sorry, but Ahern's comparison is total BS.  You can't evaluate Michigan and USC based solely on how both did against Notre Dame.  The only line is his argument that is valid, and the one that runs counter-intuitive to his argument, is that USC will play 10 bowl teams (including oh-so-woeful, yet somehow 8-4, Oregon State) while Michigan only played 7.

I understand what you're saying about\nUSC being ahead of FL in the BCS\nbut like someone else said.. the winning score\nisn't as impressive as they should be for UF.\nHowever, if USC wins out, their schedule\nwill really help them out.\n\nFL will make it to the nat title game if\nthe Ohio St vs Michigan game is a blowout win\nand if USC loses against Cal, ND, or UCLA.\n\nAs for someone arguing about Notre Dame,\nyes their loss was to Michigan but look at the\nteams they had a hard time beating...\nMichigan State and UCLA??\n\nNot to mention the whole 2nd\nhalf of their schedule this year\n(minus USC which is last)

I do believe that Alabama has returned to thier winning ways, although they are not quite the caliber of past championship teams they are much better than what Crimson Tide fans have endured recently.  I think Coach Shula and his staff have done a wonderful job overcoming the circumstances and getting recruits to believe in what they are doing.  Alabama lost some very valuable players on defense, not to mention a great quarterback.  They have some playmakers returning in some key positions (Darby, Prothro, Johns, Castille) and a solid recruiting class on the way in.  I'm looking forward to another exciting year of Crimson Tide Football.  ROLL TIDE

No, that's stupid. He's doing a good job, it's just the players aren't as good as they used to be, the other teams in the ACC are getting better and catching up to the talent level of FSU.

Larry Coker, and the problem is recruiting QBs and other skilled personnell FSU is in a recruiting hot bed yet when the schools around them do better like winning a title, they lose points when almost all the schools in Florida, and the SEC are down there recruiting kids have a ton of choices and they will go where they want to go.

I guess that I would come down on the side of the longhorns, without their win over Okla. in 1996 Florida wouldn't have won the national championship and I am a Gator!
