I love it...
I believe, fuck it, i know were going to win the championship, however, i think its only cause were #4.
Think back to when we were ranked higher, we didnt get out of bed, and lost to Ole Miss. Now, we have come back twice as hard, and are murking every team we face, i believe we will keep it up because we have shit to prove.
Bama should be playing scared, they havent lost yet and that spells doom for them, they dont know what its like to be up against a wall. they are overrated and everyone in the country outside of Bama knows it. Same way everyone knew PSU sucked, and they finally got beat, only Bama isnt playing Iowa, they will be playing the U, the REAL U.
Being 4 means nothing, its as good as 1-5. The champ game will be between one of the 2 SEC schools and one of the 3 Big 12 schools, its like a playoff so it really has no matter what the rankings are. So ill take our bullshit #4 in the BCS and use it as fuel for still being underrated. Yes, at 4 we are underrated because we are the best team in the nation.
Please be kind and use good grammar.

I thought we should be #3 over Texas, but its fine.
South Carolina and FSU are still left to pad our rankings, and should we win those and end Alabama’s run, we’re #2 at worst.
Always a good reason to decide the rankings.
Only if we wear the all-whites. I really want to see the blue jerseys with orange pants.

Regardless of Colors.
It’ll be fun to watch our Gator blurs torch whatever deficient Big XII defense they put between us and another National Championship!

The downside to that...
is being my least favorite number. But I guess its technically better than my favorite number (17).
Nothing bizarre about that, eh? : P
Holy Crap.
My favorite number is 17, too! That is bizzarely random. I wore it in high school (soccer and basketball) and love it to this day. 2 is also among my least favorite numbers. Crazy…

Leave Demps alone!
Henry’s an awesome punter though.

Slow it down
Let’s just concentrate on South Carolina this week. The ole ball coach is never a walk in the park – let’s hope our talent disparity is too much for them because we know right now that Urban will be out-coached.
BCS
Not to rain on your parade but you might want to think about the best thing about NCAAF – it’s unpredictable or were you expecting Mississippi to us a beating. Tebow is only human as the fumbles of last year pointed out. Spurrier might have something to say about it Gators v Alabama being the key game.
Oooorrrr...
Tebow could rack up another 7 TDs against South Carolina.

i love this site...
the only place where an 11-0 SEC team is overrated and “everyone knows it.” Go study the Ole Miss game because that’s what Bama will be imposing on you, only times five in Atlanta.
Of course, our offense isn’t impressive and of course we are likely to lose…but I can tell you that 21 points won’t be falling into your lap in the first quarter and we will make you work for a win.
you know whats funny about you?
is that you know nothing about college football…
.. there is not one thing i could say to make an arguement that florida is better than bama, because frankly we are better in ever facet of the game, so shut up and go back to having sex with ur underage sister.
its absurd to believe that anyone who watches football, could see what the gators have done the past six weeks and not think this is one of the best teams in the past decade, and if you disagree, tell me one other team that could roll through the best division in college football the way the Gators just did.
You gotta hate to lose more than you want to win
One other team?
I don’t understand this argument. IF you are going to claim Bama is weak b/c of the wins, how can you claim Florida is strong because of yours? UT, ARK, LSU, UGA, KY, we have a pretty similar schedule, and before you can get carried away with a lecture on you scored more on 2 of these, I can bring in one more common team: Ole Miss! We are left with one team undefeated and a one-loss team.
The problem is that the SEC is down this year. None of us can deny that with the poor out-of-conference play SEC teams have posted. In-conference, we still mix it up just like always; any given Saturday. UA and UF should both be very proud to actually have the rest of the coutry looking to the SECCG with such interest, given the state of the SEC. Even with a loss, commentators talk about ya’ll like it never happened—b/c it was an in-conference loss! We are BOTH great teams, this will be a GREAT game, and we should all feel very fortunate to have a more concrete way to prove who is the superior team. (other than just being able to beat all SEC teams you play)
I have to quit typing now. My brother is waking up!

We are not the same team that lost to Ole Miss.
I’ve watched a lot of Bama’s games this year, and if you play a game anything similar to the second half of the UGA game or the entire LSU game, then y’all are in deep shit.
We’re also in deep shit if we keep having those occasional brain farts and fumbling. Less option plays and more solid handoffs for the ball should take care of our issues though, cause our OLine will keep that big, fat DT of your’s at bay until we’re 20 yards downfield.

I want to respond ONLY to what you suggest...that neither bring our A-game.
If we play like we did the second half of the UGA game and you play like you did against Ole Miss (we’ll just say 2nd half to be even), then yes, UF will win 13-10. However, in the second half of the UGA game we scored 10 pts. and were never behind so there was really no drive to score any more. Any time we have found ourselves behind in a game, we have gotten ahead again. In the Ole Miss game, you won the points for the second half, but not the total so it didn’t really matter. If you re-read my post, that was the whole point. We have the perfect way to settle this. No need for this speculation.
So you have watched “a lot of Bama’s games” and the only obstacle you see to getting 20 yards down field is our big, fat DT? Could I possibly convince you to go hang out with the UF players a pump them up with this game-plan of yours? It sounds pretty solid to me! I don’t know why the other 11 teams have had such a problem. I guess there aren’t any other players on any of those teams that are nearly as good as yours, for sure. Be sure and suggest that to the players as well…we are over-rated and haven’t played ANYBODY! Yeah, that is probably better than waiting until we get to the game.

Okay, okay, sorry.
First, like I said below, we we screwing around that game. We came back down to Earth though after the defeat, and, thanks to Ole Miss, have decided to just run teams into the ground to prevent them from having a chance. My response was about this part of your comment:
Even with a loss, commentators talk about ya’ll like it never happened—b/c it was an in-conference loss!
The second part was a failed reference to the announcers who keep comparing Terrence Cody to Glen Dorsey. Not a game plan. The game plan is to block/shed blocks well, hold on to/strip the ball, run faster than the man covering/chasing you, and to give your best effort on every play (something we forgot to do vs. Ole Miss).

I love your attitude "alwaysafan"..
so shut up and go back to having sex with ur underage sister.
Good one buddy. I see what you did there…you made a joke based on a stereotype. Hilarious. No, really.
The thing is, my family has more class and stature than you will ever know. But that is besides the point.
You say I know nothing of football? Based on one post? I’m a 3rd generation D-I college football player. Your shit-ass couldn’t hold a flame to what experience is.
So keep on about how your Gaatuuuurrrss are a different team now and you will take the BCS. But in Atlanta, Florida will be the team Bama forces them to be. Good Riddance, kid.
Have fun with your craziness.
If you play(ed) at a large school, you might want to suggest they do more to prevent 2nd-Impact Syndrome. Or keep you out of the game all together until you learn more about football.

My bad brandonh
I didnt realize how much class you have, next time im writing a very general post, ill make sure to include your feelings, someone ive never met, will never know, and could actually probably not care any less.
My case and point is how, if you havent been watching real football, is how UF has been trouncing opponents ever since we didnt get up for Ole Miss. Bama is almost at a disadvantage for never losing and then fixing their problems.
As far as “we shouldn’t look ahead” to all you who say that who are gator fans, shutup. We as fans can think whatever we want. Were not the ones that are going to play in these games, so why cant we shit talk. Meyer has these guys clearly looking at each game as if its the most important of the year. if you havent realized like ive said before, we are murking opponents.
one last ting, go gators.
You gotta hate to lose more than you want to win
Yo, man, calm down...
Not sure about best division in college football, but bases purely on rankings, Big 12 South might be slightly better.

Take your own advice sir.
We were screwing around that game, and Ole Miss made sure they caught us. We learned our lesson.

Save the smacktalk for another 2 weeks..
If you think this is the same team that played Ole Miss months ago, you’re going to love the reality check when you realize we dont run with Tebow 50 times a game now. Completely different team right now. Its clear someone hasnt been paying attention and actually watching our team instead of the highlights. Ive been watching Alabama (and rooting for them so we beat their best)…they are not impressing me. They are starting to remind me of a certain team we beat by 40+ points…
If you beat us, then say it…but talking smack right now? How dumb and pointless.
I just said basically the same thing.
The CBS announcers were awesome yesterday, esp. since they pointed out that Harvin and Tebow are the 2nd and 3rd priorities to Defensive Coordinators right now.

Interesting Point
The Gators are better in the Dome than at home. The Dome has artificial turf which favors smaller, faster players. Which team do you think that would help more?
I hadn't even thought of that.
Poor Hernandez, he won’t get to have those long, rumbling receptions…

To Alabama Fans.
I’m a Gators fan, but I’m a bit ashamed of some of the stuff that has been said here by my peers. My apologies, sincerely.
As for the topic at hand, you all have a good team and deserve to be #1 until someone takes it away from you. I’ve seen plenty of the Crimson Tide this year and I’ve been impresed by several things: steady QB play, solid power running, playmaking WRs, strong OL, intimidating DL, active LB, effective pass defense and explosive special teams. You have a complete team, top notch coaching and hunger to go along with the talent. I won’t lie though, I believe my Gators (should we run the table) are the better team and will prevail in Atlanta on our way to a second Naional Title in three years, but I certainly don’t believe it’ll be a cake walk. Forget about the Ole Miss game because all that loss did was spark a wildfire that no one has been able to contain at all since. We’ve played the better part of the last six games like you all did in the first half at Athens and we show no signs of slowing. I think our teams have each done enough on the field this year to earn our respect. Good luck until Atlanta and go Gators!

Ejruiz:
If you are representative of the attitude an spirit of your team, I am NOW truly concerned about the game. Thank you.
One-loss teams SHOULD be able to go on and win the NC if they play the remainder of their season with the fire and intensity that your Gators have, thus far, and of course win out. When I first began to see this team comeback, this is what I thought. Then I heard all of the “smack.” There are plenty of ways to play the game, but the bottom line is always who wins. Our teams have different ways of playing the game with the common theme of winning. I think it will be a very exciting game, and I look forward to it. Best of luck!

Good SEC football is knocking the opposing players on their @$$3$ (trying not to curse in the presence of a lady).
Not praise the other team, point out all of your strengths, and then say that we’re better, but not by much. The Gators will win vs. The Citadel, beat the snot out of FSU, and then make sure that y’all’s jersey is crimson by the end of the game.

Well said EJ
Please pay no attention to those few Gators who give us the poor reputation we Gator fans sometimes deserve. But please know that most of us here are cordial to our guest posters and don’t resort to name-calling and stereotype when arguing our points.
The Gators are 5-1 in the Georgia Dome in SECCGs and you can add a couple SEC Tournament Championships and a National Championship in basketball as well. the Georgia Dome is a special place for the Gators. I always think of that when I hear UGA fans ask “how would you like it if we played the FLA/GA game in the Dome?” I would like it just fine, sir.
The Dome is going to be rocking on the 6th! How many of you out there are going to the game?
