I think they are a good team for sure, but after reviewing their schedule, as far as I can see, their most significant win is Georgia, and Ga hasnt proved out to be such a powerhouse.
But the media has put them in the MNC already
Aug. 30th W 56-10 Hawaii 12:30 P.M. RAYCOM
Sept. 6th W 26-3 Miami (Fla.) 8:00 P.M. ESPN
Sept. 20th W 30-6 at Tennessee 3:30 P.M. CBS
Sept. 27th L 30-31 Ole Miss 12:30 P.M. RAYCOM
Oct. 4th W 38-7 at Arkansas 12:30 P.M. RAYCOM
Oct. 11th W 51-21 L.S.U. 8:00 P.M. CBS

Out of all those teams, how many are in the top 10? top 20?
Yet................. they keep moving up in the polls based on wins over teams that are now unranked. Well, except for Ole Miss. ?????
I'm sure this post would irritate my Florida friends, and I have many after years of living down here, but, still........... who have they played?
Clearly, the media has an agenda and their agenda is rather influential on the result of who is in that final game.
The media has completely discounted Bama and jumped on the Gator bandwagon. Me thinks they may be making a mistake at this point.
It's times like this that I miss the old system and hate the BCS. I really didn't care that we didn't always have a "true" national champion. I didn't even care when we had split championships between AP and Coach's Polls.
In fact, the "old" system gave us something to argue and talk about during the off-season. Plus, I didn't spend most Saturdays wishing for 3 or 4 other teams to "lose" rather than just rooting for OU to win it's game.
That's my rant, and I'm sticking to it.
