We're Not That Bad...Polls

Rank
10 down 2 (AP)
9 down 1 (Coaches)

Yeah, we're behind most 10-1 teams but I thought we would be placed lower than many 9-2 teams (e.g., Stanford)

Last Saturday we played like the 8th best team, in the state, that would put us behind a couple of high school powerhouses. Some of that love of leaving us above a 2 loss team is from the Florida name. But the good thing is, we control our fate, win out, win the next two games and there is no way we aren't in the playoffs, especially after beating either the #1 or #2 ranked CFP team in bama.

Wasn't thinking that. Just marveling we're top 10 after FAU.

 

[deuce]

we are what we are, good but not great!

 

[88drgator]

I expect CFP ranking will be lower to about #13 or 14.

 

[aka]

I don't care what they think.

 

[MatthewM.]

The poll has zero to do with us being good or bad. We are not a good football team, we have just happened to win games against a poor schedule.

I don't care what they think.

Just as much as we care what you think....Don't need you to reply to a thread that's just trying to have fun with the "pundits'" assessment.

So perhaps they don't watch our games...?

I didn't think it was possible for a Gator fan to be ungrateful after the amount of success we've had with such a patchwork team. Congrats, you're the lucky fool who wins this award... Btw, that weak schedule is in the top 5 SOS I believe

And I don't care what you think either.

 

[Floridagator]

The only reason we're a top 8-10 team is because of our name, our conference and there are a lot of other down teams this year. That being said, I'll take it!

 

[Floridagator]

Also it's the only reason Ohio state was in the top 5 most the year

 

[RocketCityGator]

The way our offense and special teams are playing, the only game that matters is this Saturday.

I'd care what they're thinking, if they were evaluating our 47-14 drubbing of FAU.
I don't care for their evaluation of a us on a 17-14 OT-survival vs 2-8 FAU.

Wrong, depending on the source our SOS has been no higher than 19th this year and started at 41st in the country.

And saying our team is not good is not ungrateful, I just have eyeballs and I chose to use them. Of course winning is always better than losing, but you're kidding yourself if you're convinced the product on the field is really any different from last year.

I think we are a product of our schedule and more directly our division. I wonder what our record would look like if we played all the teams from the west. I'm thinking we would probably be an 8-4 team at best. It is what it is and the only thing left for me as a fan this year is to see us lay it ALL on the line this Saturday as if we were playing in the Super Bowl.

If we could make field goals, our games might look a little bit better. As bad as our O has looked, kicking has killed us, leaving points on the field.
