I am never pissed about losing to Richt for the same reason.

Point was you said they didn't look impressive. Obviously many thought they did for them to be named preseason #1 the following season. National Champ LSU went 8-5 the next year with a 52-38 loss to UGA, if we're saying UGA's 2008 season (10-3) is an indictment against their 2007 team.
All I'm saying is it was a weak year in CFB, and I think that UGA team (which had same number of losses as LSU did) could have easily played for and won a national title.

2007 was just a terrible year for college football. Tennessee got taken behind the woodshed by an average at best UF team and then obliterated UGA and played right with the national champions.

Why? They were 10-3 (6-2), with close losses to Oklahoma, Georgia, and Auburn. They were playing very well at the end of the season. Had there been no post season ban, they would have won the West and played Georgia again. I would have liked to have seen that rematch, assuming Fran hadn't skipped town anyway.

Ainge threw the winning touchdown pass.

Not meaning to discount how well Bama played the rest of the year or that they would have made a hell of a better opponent than Arkansas, just that I don't think anyone in the conference was going to beat UGA in Atlanta. That was a team for the ages (and considering UF has been the bane of our existence the past 20 years, it almost seems only right that we dropped our only loss to them)

I wouldn't say that. 2007 was an incredibly fun year if you're a football fan. But every team at some point that season had a level of suck going on

2001 Florida was one of the best teams in the NCAA in the past 20 years. Literally.
How they ever lost to Auburn, or how they choked to Tennessee, the deepest of fricking mysteries.
2001 Florida vs Miami would have been one hell of a fricking game.
What a waste. The BCS massacre of Maryland in the Orange Bowl did little to console what was essentially a season what-ifs.
Even 2009 wasn't as painful, in my mind, as 2001.

Florida in 2001 was a completely different animal than Florida 2000. And comparing Zook to Spurrier and saying 2002 UF was the same as 2001 UF is just laughable.

Yeah. I'm serious. That 2001 Florida team may have been better than the 1995 and 1996 teams.

Bro you can't lose games like they did and call them one of the best teams in the past 20 years
Posted on 7/4/11 at 8:38 pm to eVOLution
yea, that would be Georgia's 2007 team 
Posted on 7/4/11 at 8:57 pm to eVOLution
Yes I can.
Because in the next sentence I can call them the biggest underachievers of the last 20 years as well.
Maybe that isn't fair, but 2001 UF was just a dominant team, with UF's best defense in decades and a powerful offense.
UF averaged 7.36 Yards per play, were #2 in the country at 43 PPG, and only allowed 14.1 PPG on defense, which was #5 nationally.
Only one other BCS team since has been better since then at Yards per play, and that was 2005 USC at 7.49.
Florida was just a dominant team that blew two games they never should have lost. That's on them, and that is why they are not legitimately mentioned as one of the better teams in modern times, but they were really fricken good and just flat out blew it. Twice.

They weren't dominant, they lost two games. That's not all around dominance. Therefore, just because they beat the shite out of everyone else, they were not dominant. And are not one of the best teams in the last 20 years.
Posted on 7/4/11 at 9:03 pm to eVOLution
Statistically they were on of the most dominant bcs teams ever.

What's more important, win margin or wins/losses?
Posted on 7/4/11 at 9:16 pm to eVOLution
I'm done arguing with you about it.
The stats support my assertion.
They don't get to be included in any top 10's or anything, because they did drop those two games, but that doesn't mean they weren't one of the more powerful football teams in the BCS era.
You should feel good about that. UT did beat them after all.

UT didn't win shite worth noting that year.
