Wow, a former Florida Player thinks Florida is the best team in the nation!! I'm so surprised!!
Ok, sarcasm is done.

Florida is good, yes, but they did loose a game. Their SOS is also very good. But, this year we have the BCS who says #1 plays #2. The BCS puts together polls, computers, etc, and the BCS says #1 is Notre Dame and #2 is 'Bama.
Florida is not even in the discussion.

So, who really cares what Jesse Palmer thinks?

Concur but I was talking this season not next season. I expect everyone will be a little better prepared. However, if FL had played A&M in the 8th game of this season I suspect things would have turned out differently.

I still find it amazing that aTm played an entire season (I believe) without a bye week yet showed no signs of fatigue. They must have an incredible conditioning program.

They probably have the best resume, but too bad for them they lost to the wrong team. If we had lost to LSU instead of TAMU, then we would be in the same boat.

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.
And Bama was one 4 yards away from beatin tam, and going undefeated.

FL has the strongest claim to the top spot if you just look at the numbers (computers), but I'm betting most unbiased folks would expect Alabama to win 8 of 10 games against FL, if not more (humans). They just don't pass the eye-test.

I have never posted that ESPN or any announcer is biased about one team or another because I view and listen to them through crimson glasses. Having said that, here is my first post saying otherwise. Pollack and Palmer are tools and have made me change the channel when watching ESPN and a show dedicated to college football.

Florida is as good as anybody. I'd put them ahead of Notre Dame. Unfortunately for them, they lost and don't control their destiny. It would have been nice to play the Dawgs and then the Gators for the BCSNC, but it's not going to happen.

Jesse on again. Just said that ND would rather see Bama that UGa because UGA has a more athletic defense. "Kenny Bell is Bama's best deep threat. With him out, I think UGA can handle the run." A quote from the bachelor.

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?
Palmer is a loser, always has been. Who cares what he says.

Pollock(Georgia Grad) has always had a thing for Alabama and now Palmer(Florida Grad) is starting up. It's bad enough to get it from the other SEC haters now we have to take it from our own conference members.:BigA::mad2::BigA:

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.
I see I'm not the only one that has noticed this. He should act like he's been there before. I'm surprised someone has not tatooed him due to the way he acts after a reception.

This is nice folks. Alabama is not going to be getting patted on the back all week long. People want Georgia win because they're sick of Alabama. So we're going to hear all week long about Alabama's weaknesses while Georgia's are ignored. It might not mean much, but it is an advantage.

The same thing will happen all December long if we beat Georgia. The media will unrelentingly hype Notre Dame. I like it.

Jessie Palmer is an idiot. He also was't a very good QB. Nor is he a good analyst. About the best thing I can say about him is he's Canadian...
