ok my bad, UF had a better defense than LSU. I guess I was just going by LSU's performance against Bama vs UF's against Bama, but did not look at the season overall.

That's only because LSU had one uncharacteristic bad game against A&M. Our players quit because we had such a large lead. Without that one bad game, we finish ahead of Florida.

In any event, regardless of the rankings, LSU overall had a better defense than Florida last season. In fact, LSU gained 432 yards to Florida's 289 yards on that Florida defense but fumbled the ball away 3 times inside the 10 and then Guice misunderstood the final play of the game and cut the wrong way to lose to Florida in a game we beat them all over the field. That was a fluke of fluke game.
