Power rankings.

UF scored 19 straight after Franks went down. Clearly Trask makes UF better. As for would have lost...there was a minute left and Trask was torching their secondary. UF also has an elite kicker. Very easily could have driven down the field at that point.

Bama has no Tua. Tua makes Bama elite. Without him..are they that good? Defense is not what it has been, and without Tua the WR core is not nearly as dangerous. So yea. I'd put them fourth right now. Other teams are simply more complete.

You lost to USCe athome. We lost to LSU on the road.

Auburn is far more proven that ND who's biggest claim is playing Georgia close.

You beat UK with a WR at QB who cant throw the ball and couldnt put a single point till the middle of the third on them. Every even decent team you've played has been a home game. Yet vs the three best(ND, USCe, UK) you've looked average to bad.



If you cant understand why that makes you a very average seeming team now..I cant help you. Your defense is great, but you have to be good in offense or special teams too.

You could argue Bama should be ahead of UF despite Tua being out. Georgia however has looked bad two weeks in a row.

I've read your board. Your fans know it too. Georgia is not that great this year. Teams learned to load the box and make Fromm beat them...and he cant

I agree with the poster who said Alabama deserves to be at number one until someone proves they can beat them. LSU would be second. Third I’d put UF

Alabama defense looked pretty bad vs Tenn...Uf held them to three. Similar stats vs USCe. So. Defense UF is better, offense with Matt Jones..let's just call it even. Trask is better but Bamas run game is better. Would be a very good game. But Bamas first showing with Jones they played about even with a very bad Tenn team. So...yea.

Making Fromm beat you has proven to be easier said than done over the past few years. Georgia has offensive issues that need to be corrected but does a few things well that make them tough to beat. UGA can play defense and run the ball. If they don’t turn it over, that’s a lot tougher to deal with than people recognize.

That's fair. Just from the show we saw, Tuas value is very high. Bama has so much turnover at so many positions. Insane youth too. Would you pick them to beat LSU without Tua? If not..they shouldn't be above LSU in power rankings.

Agree to an extent. You have to score. Add in USCe had their QB go down and his back up literally couldnt throw, and then UK had a WR at QB who couldnt throw. They weren't doing bad with Hilinski in. I mean to say your defense is untested is an insanely fair statement as well. It's a great run D for sure, but no one has tested it through the air cause you haven't faced a decent passing team.

Bama defense held Tennessee to 13. I’ve watched every Florida game and y’all have been living on borrowed time. You have no depth, no run game, bad oline. You’re not better than bama, I’m sorry.

I would argue ND was at least decent. Not elite, but Ian Book, Claypool, and their TE are pretty good.

Except I never said that. Come on man, it was one paragraph and you don't even have the attention span for it.

Possibly. UF has done better vs like opponents on defense. Offense their run game is better, but Floridas pass game is better. Special teams their return game is better but our kicking game is better.

Their TE is very good. Think UF tries to use Pitts the same. Georgia did a good job hitting him at the line in the second half. Mullen will likely have to pull him outside to make him effective cause I think Smart will try to shut him down with a DE or LB hitting him before he gets into his route. Will be interesting.

Florida at 2...yikes.

1) LSU
2) BAMA

this has to be a given. Then Probably

3) UF
4) Auburn
5) UGA
6) Missouri

3- 6 I think are very interchangeable

UF held SC to what?

On so many levels.

UGA will mudhole UF.
