Aladamnbama? Has CFB seen how good they play when some team threatens them ?
UF has to play all qualifiers. These fellows will represent as "Fighting Gators" - learning to get better.
Go get better Gators.

You always want the chance to play an SEC title. The issue is getting crushed on national TV. It's not good for the brand. Tua is a freaking stud QB. They could've put 100 on Tenn at Neyland.

We need to beat the poodles on Saturday before I'll entertain all this conjecture.

Even if we lose to UGA but then beat FSU on our way to a bowl, I'll be happy. That is more than I thought we could accomplish this year. No matter what people say about Mullen but I think he has us trending in the right direction.

Is there any part of you that would like to go 11-1 and let KY have the east?

I know that sounds weak and it probably is, but I fear we just don't have the roster to play with Bama...yet.

Probably moot. I can't see KY winning out.

Fwiw, I hate Alabama with a passion that burns as bright as the sun. My in-laws are Tide people. They were insufferable before Saban. You can imagine what it's been like since '09.
hell no

Kentucky win the east? is this a serious question?

We're still pretending Kentucky's a great team right? Trying to downplay the loss?
That's right. They aren't a great team. We got steamrolled by a mid-tier team. And they, for sure, aren't going to go to SEC championship game. It will be either Georgia or Florida. Ky reached their peak when they beat us. I heard somebody got a shirt that says, "nobody beats us 32 times in a row". Somebody post that pic.

I don't see the benefit of winning the east and losing 48-13 to bama. I just don't. I think the kitties lose the next 2 games. So, we beat UGly we should win the east and will be playing bama.
I predict that if we beat the butt sniffing leg humpers and go to the SEC championship, we will not get pummelled by Bama. It's not Old Hee at the helm. I don't see losing by 35 to them.

Well if the rumors are true, mac didn’t give much effort towards recruiting OR coaching, so not sure you can draw the same conclusions.

Nor can you make a blanket statement on being in the SEC Title game helps your brand.

We ain’t got a shot at Bama, not fun going to Atlanta when you know you ain’t got a shot.
This is total nonsense. If the most talented team always won, there would be no reason to play the games, you could just hand Bama a trophy and go home.

Any given Saturday.

The East is a helluva lot better now than then. Much of that is due to our own resurgence.

How is it better, UGA is worse than last year, Tennessee is still a tire fire, USC has Muschamp, Vandy sucks Donkey balls (just ask Swamp Donkey), is UK really that much better or just feasting on a schitty East? Is it the East is better, or our perspection they might be because we look like an actual team?

Bama is waaaaaay more talented than us. Plus they have the best QB in college football now too. Not those game manager types that have still been beating us by 3 td’s. Our only hope in Atlanta would be for us to luck up and get a rematch with LSU. I’m sure you thought we had a chance the last 2 times we played Bama in Atlanta as well.

I know everyone has a raging hardon for Bama at the current moment, and to be honest Bama has done nothing to let anyone believe they shouldn't be worthy of those hardons .. but .. have they really played and beat anyone yet this season? The LSU game will be a good measuring stick. Teams have put points on Bama this year. There is something to be said about a team that has it a bit easy for the first half and then find themselves in a tough game later in the season versus a team that got tested early.

With all that said, I want out team to play tough games. Our NC seasons ... we beat the best during the regular season and then cruised in the NC games.
They’ll beat LSU like they’re playing a Pop Warner team. The only team that could potentially match up with them on the lines of scrimmage is Clemson, and they’ve already tried to Clemson against Syracuse. No telling when they’ll shyt the bed in conference and go full Clemson.

No, I knew we had no chance the last two times, dork. Don't insult me. Those were Mac teams.

At any rate, teams have bad days. They have turnovers. Crazy things happen in football games. UF has enough talent to win that game - it's not like we are Murray State.

Beating the noles is more important this year. They’re very beatable and we need to take this state back.

Wager a Zima on it? Bama wins by 3 tds, at least.
LSU isn't Tennessee or Missouri - they are a physical team. Absolutely no way Bama wins by that much.

Guess we will see. This Bama team is machine-like on offense. The only weakness they’ve shown on defense is at db, and that may be more due to injuries than anything.
