My only post in this thread will be to perpetuate the Op's cause.

I hope more and more people feel this way. I hope it becomes the national perception. It's easier to drive a car under less pressure. Not to mention it will help to mimic the feeling of faith from within of last year's team :)

So, sure... bet your arse off that Bama is over-rated.

Ehhh....I've given you 14 chances to predict failure for Dareus and you don't have the



You backed down like a little girl. It's cool.

Looks good to me. You still scared to make a prediction?

Why are predictions so important to you? They're just what you think is going to happen, not what you know for a fact will happen. WTF is the point?

OK. You guys missed the point of my thread.

I just hate stupid hypocrisy in sports media.

I'll say this: as of TODAY, I'm OK with Alabama at #1. But their reasoning is all flawed.

But you can't call UF overrated because they lost defensive players and not say the same thing about Alabama when they lost JUST AS MANY IF NOT MORE important players on defense.

If you want to say UF won't be as good because of tebow being gone and young WR, fine. Do that.

But if you're going to call out UF because of defense, you have to call out Alabama as well.

Ah after the edit...
As I said earlier a prediction will not stop the fellatio you would perform on said player. Not sure why you are stuck on this "prediction" thing. I am sure you get off on little things, you may have these pictures taped in your room currently.

Not sure what his motivation for predictions. I mean he is a gump so therefore he does not even have normal brain function.

I'm glad people think Florida is overrated. I want Florida to have a chip on their shoulder this year.

It's the logic that bothers me.

So either the national media is just really dumb, or they are just setting up Bama to fail so they can write about it later.

Didn't Florida lose almost their entire team? Not just defensive starters.

Maybe that's why the media has us ranked higher? On ESPN they said that losing defensive players would be an issue for us, but that our offense made up for it. When they talked about UF, they said to hold judgement to see how Brantley would do

Here slayer to answer your question


Florida lost some key players on offense and defense
Alabama lost some key players on defense

Defense is easier to replace and Saban has a reputation has a defensive genius. While Alabama should slump a bit on defense their offense should improve as McElroy is more comfortable starting.

Therefore Alabama gets the benefit of the doubt as to not having the drop off that Florida would.

Alabama lost 8 or 9 starters on defense after Saban's first year, they even better the next year.

I didn't call anyone out. You can call Alabama's D out. I made a prediction on what they will do. If you're so sure they will fail, you should challenge said prediction. I think UF will have a hell of a team (again), but I'm not worried about our D.

It's not really all that complicated. You're the one calling UA overrated. You shouldn't have a problem saying where UA and/or Dareus will fail. All I asked was for you to make a prediction other than meaningless flames. Make a prediction and look like a genius if you're proven correct. After 6 attempts to get you to state actual numbers it's obvious you're fearful. Like Colin Cowherd says: You don't hate Alabama. You respect Alabama. You fear Alabama.

*Note that I'm not talking to anyone else, just the coward that has been stuttering over a prediction for 45 minutes.

These were Alabama's returning starters in 2008 (Saban's second season).

Defense
Kareem Jackson (Cornerback)
Rashad Johnson (Safety)
Rolando McClain (Linebacker)
Lorenzo Washington (Defensive Line)

Holy hell you are one of the more delusional gumps out there. Predictions really mean that much to you don't they? Do you get some sense of self worth based on what percentage of predictions you get right?
Why would I be fearful of Alabama exactly? Are they coming at me with pitch forks and moonshine? What exactly is there to be fearful over? I think you take this a little too serious and you may need to seek professional help. Anyone who takes football serious enough that they get upset on a message board needs seek medical care for their own inequities. To tie ones own self worth into a college football team is beyond pathetic.
So if you want my prediction, I think you will allow the season to dictate the mood you are in.
