I don't often shout at the radio these days, the maturity of age and all that, but listening to Mike & Mike this morning brought back old habits. Their discussion of the college football playoff was enough to send even a mostly rational Gator fan over the edge.
In talking about the "what ifs" with Rece Davis and Herby they made it clear that UF has no chance to make the playoff even if they beat FSU and Alabama. The offense is so bad and the team is so one sided that those wins and the overall record wouldn't be enough. They gave Coach Mac lots of credit for winning 10 games and overcoming the offensive shortcomings but this team just isn't good enough even at 12-1.
The discussion turned absurd when began to paint the scenario where a 2-loss Michigan team could get in by beating OSU and Iowa. They also discussed the slim chance North Carolina might have by upsetting #1 Clemson, despite their pitiful schedule and ugly loss to SC.
I understand this Gator team has been painful to watch of late but it seems that if they beat FSU and then the #2 team in the country, making them conference champs, they should be in. If not, then it really is more a beauty pageant than looking at actual records and resumes. Herm Edwards famous comment would ring hollow.
