How is Florida in the "top tier"?

 

[LSUfanFloridaAlumni]

Florida has a great defense. You will see them against Alabama. They are legit. I also think Tennessee is one of the better teams as well and Florida shut them down. Florida has two great runners. Florida just needs a better passing game.

It's still early in the SEC schedules, so I can see Florida having a top tier ranking as of right now....

then why can't you see having USCe with the same?

 

[BadMotoWeazal]

Because I don't see eUSC winning the SEC East like Florida.

ah so it's a popularity contest.

Fair enough.

I would put Kentucky under Ole Miss. They really are poo.

Yep, we're on a message board so opinion rules the day....

I was just wondering if there was more to it than "because I said so."

Florida has not played anybody. Tennessee COULD count as a big win but I seriously doubt it.

Feel free to post your own.

Also I did the tiers because I think they those teams are close to each other in style. I could see for example Georgia beating Tennessee or Arkansas (if they played) and had a good game.

I really think Florida is stout on defense like Bama and LSU but we will see the next two weeks.

Nope... Opinions are like assholes, everybody's got one.... And I didn't "say so", I just told you what I thought, doesn't make it right or wrong... OP, just putting his opinion up there so we could all opine.

 

[yeodonie]

I was just wondering why someone would put 3 of the 4-0 SEC teams in the "top tier" and leave out USCe. I could see putting two there in LSU and Bama but if you're going to include Florida you might as well put USCe???

I agree, I think Florida has top defense, but the ability to stretch the field with the passing game, could be a weakness. Florida has weapons on offense. Rainey and Demps are threats to take it to the house anytime they touch the ball, but I just don't see the WR's around them, that can stretch the field. About everybody on the team was brought in to run the spread. Florida is an interesting team to keep an eye on.

The Keldar in your sig.... which Tiger's team and where do you know him from? Wouldn't be the same Keld4r from WW2OL would it?

 

[HighTide]

As of right now, Vandy and Auburn are better teams than Georgia. In my opinion anyways.

He was an LSU fan that posted on tigerdroppings.com. He had terminal cancer and kept everybody updated on how he was doing. He eventually lost the battle, but that was one of his posts, before he passed.

Hmm.... I fly in a game called World War 2 On line. He was in my squad but just kind of vanished. He was an LSU fan too...

Any idea when that was? We thought he was heading off to do some Army stuff (was the last word we had).

Damn.
