re: If Florida beats Bama, is Bama still the better team?

Yes...the whole idea the better team always wins is an absurdly flawed and naive logic that is twisted when it comes to sports.

The 96 Bulls lost games. Were the teams that actually won a game vs them better teams? No..they were better for one single night. So much goes into a single game, you can't define the winner clearly better all the time.

If Florida beats Bama, Florida was better than Bama for one night. Bama, is still the better team.
