Florida is definately not level of Arizona or Michigan State. They lost to Wisconsin, even though UF makes excuses. The KU game I will give you, but KU has improved, UF IMO has not improved but stayed the same. Nobody in the SEC is top level this year....

Still do not think anyone in the SEC is top elite level. I think the conference is down and it will show in the tournament.
I think UF will also get a horrible draw. I think Syracuse gets beat in a fluke game also.
So what's wrong? I owned up to my opinion.

Was responding to the post that they were top 5 teams of last 30 years.
The fact that every one of the teams you said was better than the 07 UF team came within a 15-year stretch is pretty telling.

Here's more knowledge you dropped...

I am not saying UF is trash. I am saying that there is not 1 team that is elite in the SEC and there are 5 teams that are elite.
I put Florida with Villanova, Iowa, Kentucky, San Diego range. All good but not head and shoulders above everyone else.

The NCAA loves to frick SEC teams and Dicky V and Co. were setting it up as much in their commentary tonight by shitting all over the conference.

No its because those teams, other than Michigan were Senior dominate. Which makes Florida a part of the top 10-15 teams. They knew how to win and play as a group.
If the Ohio State team, with Oden and Conley would have stayed around atleast 3 years we would probably putting them up there.

I did say that earlier in the year and I also said that was at that time. And we were talking about that about a month ago when Wisconsin was ranked 4th in the nation. And they had beaten Florida.

I strongly disagree with your opinion that the 2007 team is merely top 10-15 team in the past 30 years. Many others do as well.
The only other college basketball opinion I remember reading from you is the Wisconsin one so I think you don't know what you're talking about.

Yep I said that too. You want to quote me again?
Here is a good one.
If Florida loses in the SEC tourney they will get a 2 seed.
Again, what's wrong, I own my opinions.

FWIW, I don't think our offense this year is good enough to even remotely say this is Billy D's best team. And I wouldn't be surprised with whatever happens in March. But that the 2007 team is only a top 10-15 team of the past 30 years?

Is he really that far off on that statement? I don't know that either of our teams are elite. And nobody is head and shoulders above anyone else right now.
Only part I'd disagree with is who he puts Florida and Kentucky with.

am not saying they werent a great team, but to put them on the level of that Vegas or 85 Georgetown team is not correct.
They are in top 10-15 for sure, but they aren't the greatest as some are putting them.
I mean, based off resume and results, '85 Georgetown might be better than '07 Florida.
But if you lined them up on the court, Florida would crush them. 20+ years of advanced athleticism. That's an entire generation.

He said KU has improved after losing to UF while UF has stayed the same.
Of course when he said that UF was on a 10 game winning streak, now at 17 and still active.

It's really the comments about the 2007 team that really threw me for a loop.

I was just talking about the statement that was quoted that I responded to. The others, I can't exactly agree with.

Because at the time the SEC was horrible and the conference had basically just stanrted.
KU had beaten Baylor who was highly ranked at the time.
And had beaten 3 top 20 teams in last 4 games.
If you think the SEC at that time was better than the Big XII then I am sorry.
Again my response about the 5 teams I listed were to Verlander saying they were top 5 teams of last 30 years, which I do not agree with. Then I stated the Arkansas teams in 94-95 may have been better. The Alabama one was out there, but it started a fire storm.

He said that there are about five elite teams in college basketball this season and that Florida isn't one of them.
There aren't five elite teams this season. I'm not even sure if there's one. Syracuse's luck is going to run out eventually. Arizona's offense is all kinds of meh (even moreso than Florida's). Wichita State is just this season's Gonzaga. Kansas' guard play isn't good enough for them to be elite.
I don't think we're necessarily "elite." Our inability to consistently hit jump shots might hurt us in the tourney. But we can beat any team in the country.
