For a real reason- Florida's defense matches up a lot better with Bama than it did with UK, that sounds weird but its true in much the same way the USCe defense matched up better with UGA than it did with TAMU despite UGA having at worst equal talent.
What hurt Florida last night was the deep ball and Blake Sims throws it worse than Jeff Driskel, additonally UK threw the ball by spreading it around and avoiding VH3-- Bama with its passing attack based so heavily around Amari Cooper doesn't do this (Cooper's a bad arse but I like Florida's chances in a Cooper vs. Hargreaves contest better than I do in a WR 5 vs. a true frosh corner).
The other thing is the offense being new and still gelling, its making strides each week much like Auburn did last season. Now that Florida has found a dominant All-SEC caliber WR to go with two great RBs in Taylor and Jones, they just need to either let Driskel run or pull him. I'd favor Bama but I think it's highly likely to be a 1 score game with the outcome in doubt well into the 4th.
If I told you two weeks ago that USCe would beat UGA and that for much of the 4th it'd be a 2 score game people would have thought I was crazy but that's what happened.
