Explain to me why Bama is ranked higher than UF

UF (7-1) one loss to undefeated #4 LSU in death valley which is widely considered one of if not the hardest places to play in college football.
Alabama (7-1) one loss to #19 Ole Miss at home.
Similar opponents: Ole Miss, UGA, and UT. Alabama loses to Ole miss at home, UF destroys Ole Miss at home. Alabama destroys UGA at home, UF destroys UGA in a neutral site. Bama escapes an upset at home vs UT after trailing in the 4th, UF escapes an upset at home vs UT after trailing in the 4th.
Impressive wins:
Alabama @ UGA by 28
Alabama @ A&M by 18
Alabama neutral site Wisconsin by 18
Florida vs Ole Miss (the team that beat Bama at bama) by 28
Florida neutral site against UGA by 24
I just don't see how you can put Bama over UF when you compare the resumes. There are 2 things that people keep coming back to:
1) The "eye test". The eye test is bullshite. It's about what you have done throughout the year. What's the point of keeping score if all we are using is the eye test. Ole Miss was the eye test national champions after 3 games. Texas A&M was the best team in the country in 2012, but they didn't make the national championship because the eye test doesn't fricking matter.
2)The 5 turnovers in the Ole Miss game. Mark May argued this morning constantly about how it was a fluke game, and how Bama has never turned the ball over 5 times. Why on earth does it matter if it's not likely to happen again in the future? It still happened. Oklahoma states kicker normally makes 30 something yard field goals, why wasn't that game considered a fluke in 2012? There may be games where you would win 99 times out of 100. But if that one loss happened, you can't just act like it didn't happen.
Luckily in this case, there is no way that a 1 loss UF and a 1 loss Bama wouldn't play each other. And Bama may destroy UF if they play. But to this point, it is completely illogical to have a 1 loss Bama in the playoffs over most undefeated teams, and even a 1 loss UF.

We get the edge due to the ever important eyeball test.

Jesus who cares? This shite will sort itself out.

Poll voters obviously haven't seen either team play.
Anyone who has seen both teams play knows Florida is the better team.

Losing to Ole Miss is seen as better than losing to LSU

I imagine most people think Bama would beat UF. And as has always been with college football, if you are gonna lose it's best to lose early. Won't matter anyway after this weekend.

Because Bama is a much better team.

So LSU doesn't look as bad after losing Saturday.

We will see which one is better in December when Alabama and UF play in the SECCG.
Posted on 11/1/15 at 3:25 pm to GeauxPack81
Who cares? None of these rankings matter but the final top 4.

You LSU fans are some dumb fricks.

It's all fair. Compare like opponents. Three games. Uf has a better mov and record vs those teams. Seems like saying Bama is better is actually just you being biased. Uf on the field, has been better than Bama.

If they were playing, who would you put your money on?

That's a lot of consternation over something that doesn't matter at all.

Bama isn't going to the playoffs so it doesn't matter. FL will end up in Atlanta, Bama wont.
