In that a lot of fans lack it.
Last week Bama beat Florida and were ready to book their tickets to NOLA. This week LSU does the same and in the same fashion yet according to many Bama posters here today Florida is highly over rated all of a sudden.
Just a funny observation is all.
Flame away!

I'm not sure how over rated we were. Most everyone expected 4 losses. Now it looks like 5 is possible.
Who over rated us?

The Bama fans this week vs last week.

To be fair Alabama played a better Florida team than LSU did. Florida had their top two QBs and Demps against Alabama. Alabama also played them on the road in primetime. None of it matters though, fans can say and think whatever they want, also doesn't matter.

Meh, many Gumps called the arse kicking they gave us.
Some level headed ones had us losing but by 2 TDs.
Ignore the fringe.

It doesn't bother me as much as I just like to point it out and laugh at it.

Driskel wouldn't have fared any better and Demps had 2 carries against Bama

Lsu fans said the same thing when we walloped Arkansas...

They're top two QBs played the whole game, LSU got some weird mix of Burton the tight end playing QB and then some guys who never expected to see the field this year. I don't know how Florida scored. And yes Demps played about a half of Alabama game. But was Florida overrated at #11 before last week? Of course. Not mamy #11 teams lose by 28 at home in primetime.

You call them level headed because they were wrong about the outcome?

Demps was irrelevant against us considering they had no chance of running the ball.
There were obviously clear differences between the two games. Any neutral observer would say that because of those differences Alabama's performance was more impressive.
None of this matter will matter in the end, but I guess we have to have something to talk about for the next few weeks.

Seems like it bothers you. As another poster said, just ignore the crazies.
Every fanbase has them, and you trying to insinuate that it's more prevalent in one team than another suggests to me that you're every bit as detached from reality as those you seek to make fun of.

I've been saying since the Alabama molestation that UF was not a very good team, and wouldn't beat a good team this year.

That doesn't count though. LSU fans are the only people who have "perspective" as it pertains to college sports. Go read the Tiger Rant. You'll learn a ton about how things really are. Everyone Bama plays is terrible, the refs are on the take, the media hates LSU even if they are #1 in the AP poll, and the Heisman committee should have given Thoneyrexmbadgersaurus7 his trophy a week ago.

you could make the argument that LSU had a tougher road since no one really KNEW what UF was gonna try on O
I'm NOT saying that, but it could be spun that way
all fans spin things and some can be funny, except when it involves Arkansas, never funny then

Exactly. Bama fans seem to be getting to him.

Who the hell are you aiming this at? I'v either missed the threads you're talking about, or you are an insecure crybaby. It was obvious after the game last week that Florida wouldn't be a true measuring stick (which they usually are) this year.
Fact: Alabama won their game on the road and at night, LSU didn't
Fact: For half the game Florida was able run the game plan that they worked on for who knows how long, with the starters. They threw shite together during the week leading to LSU.
If an Alabama fan wants to say one FL team was more overrated than the other then don't listen or respond to them. The two victories were almost identical stop crying because some Bama homers won't give LSU credit for a win.......who cares?

LSU would have whipped Florida if Brantley was in regardless. The more impressive part about the Alabama win was that it was @ UF. LSU game was never really in doubt.. we'd get a lead and get some younger guys PT.
