They are ovverated, and have always been. Ohio state will beat them by at least 20.

Yeah, it would be more, but Tressel, like all Big Ten coaches, maintains high standards of sportmanship. We'll see a lot of the bench players in the fourth quarter.

When a program builds a name for itself the voters often remember the teams of the past and vote on that. I know it isn't florida, but USC is another classic example, losing to 2 unranked teams and still being in the top 10? Ridiculous, I can't wait to see Michigan beat them by 20 and I'm a hardcore OSU fan, but I hate USC more just for the fact of the bias. I don't think we will beat Florida by 20, but it won't be as close as the Michigan game I can tell you that much. Most of the Florida schools have flashy offenses and decent defenses so they look much better than they really are, especially when you play them against the Big 10 or the Big 12.

Don't hate on the Florida teams, every team has earn its way to the top, you guys play powder puff teams you come from a powderpuff cpnference...and the Gators are truly the better team see for yourself:
I don't know either, its like they want to ignore the fact and reality of it and after losing they shouldn't have anything else to say, but they will what do you say to these stats? The 2 best teams will be in the game.. Ohio State and Florida.. Floridas going and deserve to and here's why.....:
Offensive TD's Scored:
FLORIDA - 44
USC - 43
Michigan - 41
Average Yards per Play:
FLORIDA - 6.51
USC - 5.95
Michigan - 5.64
Top 25 Defenses Faced:
FLORIDA - 5
Michigan - 3
USC - ZERO
Losses to UNRANKED teams:
USC - 1
FLORIDA - ZERO
Michigan - ZERO
Losses to Top 15 teams:
FLORIDA - 1
Michigan - 1
USC - ZERO
So it must be a problem with our defense, you say?
Scoring Defenses:
FLORIDA is #4 Nationally (allowing 12.3 per game)
Michigan is #9 Nationally (allowing 14.6 per game)
USC is #13 Nationally (allowing 15.1 per game)
SO...
The University of Florida has scored more Touchdowns than USC or Michigan... gained more yards per play than USC or Michigan... all against much tougher defenses than those faced by USC or Michigan... and has a BETTER DEFENSE than USC or Michigan...
When did it become more important to earn these "style points" (buzz word for what a team that the media wants to put #2 has and a team that the media doesn't want to put #2 does not have, whatever it might be) than to play and beat good competition

Florida seems to have a very elitist attitude. Trust me, walk around UF and see for yourself. We're so great. We're so wonderful. Gators Gators Gators.
I don't particularly like college football, but I'm hoping that the Gators get completely taken out by Ohio. Go Ohio!
