I am glad that Florida is getting a push of respect this week. It really adds to the build up for the game. Of course ESPN is carrying it, so the Gators are getting pimped, but I am glad all the same. I must add a bit of reality to the subject though. Florida has played FAU, UAB, Tennessee and Kentucky. I decided to go back and look at what they did to those teams compared to what other teams have done to those teams. In comparison what they did was nothing out of the ordinary compared to what teams like Tulane had done to the same opposition. Tennessee being a slight different case, although they didn't quite handle them as soundly as one might think for playing at home. So far they have managed to handle business to the tune of what Michigan St and Tulane have been handling business. Not so impressive when you put things into perspective. Considering Tulane is 2-2 and Michigan St is 3-1.
By no means am I looking at this and assuming we will just roll over them, but it really brings into question what the hype is right now. Alabama could come into the Swamp and lay an egg, but if things play out the way they should that won't be the case.
