Who will be the dynasty of the future: Florida Atlantic or Florida International?

Football? Basketball? Baseball? Two of the three? All 3?\n\nMy guess (right now) would be that neither will ever be a dynasty because neither is in a major, BCS-type of conference. As a society, we seem far too enamored with "tradition" to allow for further development of "new" powers unless those powers arise from a major conference. That's why the BCS is loaded toward the "big 6" conferences and single-school Notre Dame, and the NCAA hoops tournament occasionally tries to keep out the 27-5 small/mid-major schools. It's as if they got together and said "We're done," and now they need to maintain whatever has become a tradition at this point. It's really strange.

This answer may depend on the spectrum of your question.  That is, are you asking which team has been the best throughout history, which has been the best recently, or which will be the best next year.  Let's answer all three possible questions...\n\nHISTORICALLY: Miami Hurricanes\nFive National Titles, 17 bowl victories, 66 All-Americans, Two Heisman Trophies, and three Maxwell Award winners.  They also finished in the TOP THREE of the polls for seven straight years in the eighties and nineties.  (FSU comes in second here with their Two National Titles.  Also, from 1987 to 2000 the 'Noles finished in the top five in the polls at the end of the year.  That's 14 seasons at the top!).  Florida hasn't historically been that great, although they were pretty good in the nineties, and got their only National Championship in 1996\n\nRECENTLY: Miami Hurricanes\nBoth the Gators and the 'Noles have gone 42-20 in the past five seasons.  During that same stretch (2001-2005), the Canes were 53-9.  Miami beat FSU 4 of those 5 years; Miami beat Florida all 3 times that they played in the past five seasons; Florida beat FSU 3 of those 5 years.\n\nNEXT YEAR: Who Knows!?!?\nFlorida might be the easy pick, but they have a REALLY tough schedule.  Florida State was rebuilding last year, and still went to the BCS.  Miami is coming off of two 9-3 seasons, but has a favorable schedule.  This year is going to be great!\n\nHope that this helps!  I really try to look at facts rather than letting emotion and loyalty cloud the response.  For the record, I don't root for any of the three teams.

Late Late Show host Craig Ferguson predicted that the Florida gators would not be intimidated by a golden star (ala. George Mason), so he had Florida in on one side.\n\nOn the other side he picked the happy California bear of UCLA over the tigers of LSU.\n\nSo Craig was correct in predicting the NCAA Final featuring UCLA and Florida.

I agree with you. It should be Miami vs. Florida International University because it was a good fight. And it would be a good business investment if McDonalds sold "Supersize Me" on DVD and "Fast Food Nation" books at their restaurants. And pigs can fly.

I gotta go with Duke because Allison Bales graduated from my high school! Allison Bales (and Duke) is/are going to win the National Championship and make her hometown proud.

Can't say they will. There is just too much talent elsewhere. Duke, UCONN, Florida, etc.

Nashville,Atlanta,Florida,TampaBay and Anahiem should never had been in the league to begin with. Winnipeg,Hamilton,Quebec City should be in the league. I hope Columbus BJ fold first,followed by the teams that I mentioned at the top.

Florida State competes as a Division I NCAA school.

I made a prediction that if Florida wins, it would be a blowout and if UCLA wins, it'd be close.  My predition was correct but I picked the wrong team.  Florida is a very versatile, they've many players who can do numerous things on the court.  UCLA couldn't make a shot and their mini comeback was a little too late.  Florida and UCLA will be dangerous next year.  Don't be surprise if you see at least one of those teams back in the final four.  What did you think?

SEC a powerhouse conference, I dont think Florida has a shot to make it to the title game.  Number one they arent going to win the SEC, look at their offense and tell me you really think they are the best team in the SEC let alone the country.  Number two they are going to take a hit in the computer polls next week with their DivII opponnent W. Carolina, lets hope an offense better than todays shows up or they could be real emberassed.  Any team that plays a DivII opponent shouldnt be considered a legitimate title contender.

By far Orlando is gonna improve the most next year. They used to be horrable in the beggining  and middle of the season but after the got rid of S. Francis and Traded for Milicic and Arroyo they became better. Then towards the end of the season Jameer Nelson started to show skill and ability. At the end of the season (like the last two weeks) they were the hottest team in the NBA and they actualy had a chance to get to the playoffs (which in the beggining of the season seemed imposible). Next year Milicic will start for Tony Battie, (which is good because Battie is getting old and its Milicic's 3rd year [he came out of highschool]) Howard who also came out of highschool will improve over the summer as will Jameer Nelson. Not only are their starters good but the Orlando bench isn't that bad. They have Arroyo, Battie and Ariz who are all great players and helped the Magic get some wins this year. However in the summer of 07', Lebrons contract with the Calvs will expire and since the Magic are getting rid of Grant Hill they will be able to offer the the best contract for Lebron.
