Jesse was just on SportsCenter. He said Florida was the best team in the country... PERIOD. His reasoning was that UF beat Texas A&M, who beat Alabama. They beat LSU and their only loss was to UGA. In that game, the offense has their "E" effort and turned the ball over numerous times. Couldn't we play this game too? Thoughts?

Florida lost to Georgia, who was blown out by South Carolina, who was dismantled by LSU, who lost to.... Alabama.

Exactly, you can say it any way you want. Florida has a great defense, but their offense is mediocre. They have the best resume, but don't turn it over that many times against Georgia and you would be in the SECCG and number 1 in the country.

I think the truth (according to Buzzard :biggrin:) is that there's no real clear cut dominant or "best" team this season. Whether you're talking about Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Oregon, Notre Dame, Kstate etc. The common fan can watch several games of each of these teams throughout the regular season and begin picking out flaws.

Honestly I feel bad for Florida not getting a shot they have had a great year. To me they are way more deserving of being in the SEC champ game than Georgia.

They are suffering from a lower preseason ranking and the eye test but their results speak for themselves.

Hey Jesse, they give out the crystal football in January, not November....he should know that! Oh, I'm sorry your Gators do not get a chance to play for it...

We have destroyed them the last three meetings, left Tebow crying on the sideline, and made their championship coach quit... Most of their fan base is bitter and hates Alabama! Palmer is part of that group.

I wonder what his logic will be if Alabama beats Georgia (which I expect to happen as most of us here do) the team that beat his beloved Gators?

Pollack and Palmer can't contain their homerism this year because their teams are actually good. Which is why I turn the channel.

I like Jesse Palmer. He seems much more intelligent than the Georgia homer on the BCS countdown show who is still promoting Oregon as the best team in the land.

Don't think FL would want a piece of A&M right now. No one probably would.
Although you may be right let's not paint TAMU as some unbeatable monster. This is a very different and very new system that SEC defenses have to be ready for every season. I would bet my pay check right now there will be a vast difference when they play Bama next season. Nick eventually dismantled the amazing Urban Meyer/Tim Tebow offense and he will do the same to this one.

I told my Dad the other day that I'm curious to see how Johnny Football performs next season. Will he equal or better his stats from this season? Defenses now have a full season of game tape on Sumlins offense operating against SEC teams. Don't think for one minute adjustments won't be made.

I can hardly believe Manziel hasn't fumbled the football 20 times this year the way he holds it. I also wish Swope would get flagged for how he acts after making a big catch.

Our staff made some halftime adjustments, and we looked much better in the second half. I know that they will do much better with an off season to study that film.

Me? I watch but know what you say is true. But I'll give credit to Rece Davis and Mark May. If you didn't know were they graduated/played you'd never know from their on camera statements.
