Why do Florida Gators fans think they even stand a chance in this year's national championship?

Question

My team is South Carolina and they should have lost to us. Yet Florida's fans think they have a realistic shot at upsetting the Buckeyes? Pfffffft!

Answer 1

Too much of that Florida sun melting the brain. Sorry, I'm a Michigan fan and not bitter at all.

Answer 2

Probably because it is going to happen. The Buckeyes have been hyped all season long by ESPN and that has skewed public opinion. Anyone who actually watched a Gator game and a Buckeye game would know how good Florida is. What the hell kind of defense was OSU playing against Michigan??? I didn't see any. Troy Smith threw for less than 3K yards against a weak, did I say WEAK, a@@ Big 2 Little 9 schedule. Florida has been nursing injuries all year and will be healthy come Jan. 8th. I am excited to see Percy Harvin at FULL speed!!! OSU does not have an answer to him.

Oh and by the way, S. Carolina lost, get over it. The only team that should have lost was Oregon to Oklahoma b/c of an admitted missed call. The only reason you guys are even competitive is b/c of a Gator!!!

Answer 3

I'm just here to state some facts proving that the Gators "might" win. Everyone is talking about how Troy Smith and Antonio Pittman are gonna run all over the Gators but the Gators did stop the two best running backs in the nation--Darren McFadden and Felix Jones. Gators got two very different yet very good QBs--Chris Leak and Tim Tebow. Gators got a very tough schedule; I think it is tougher than Ohio States. I don't think the game will be a blow out.

Answer 4

The only way the Gators have a chance is if the Buckeyes party too hard in their hotel rooms and forget what day the game is played since they're not worried one bit about the Gators.

Tressel's probably talking with his assistants right now about different victory formations Troy Smith should run.

Answer 5

Ok, I am a born and bred Buckeye fan, and people that think this will be a blowout might be wrong. Does anyone remember 2002, when no one thought OSU would beat Miami?? That OSU team won ugly games, and are National Champions. Yes, I do think we will win, but don't underestimate Florida. People that get too cocky before a game are usually the ones who lose.

Answer 6

The National championship will likely be the SEC Champions vs. the Big 12 Champions.. Florida will win out and be ranked number 1 or 2.. The Big 12 Champion will be ranked 1 or 2.

Answer 7

Probably because the only team The U has actually played that was any good was Michigan and they almost lost. Ohio State did NOT have a very strong schedule and escpecially compared to Florida.

Answer 8

probably cuase they beat the razorbacks to win the SEC. also Leak is looking good. They have good QB. But at the end the Hiesman winner troy smith will lead the Buckeyes to victory. Go Ohio State

Answer 9

Because any team can beat any team on any given day, even though I think Ohio State will win.

And what do you mean the Gators SHOULD'VE lost to the Gamecocks? When it comes to stats in sports, all that matters is who has more points at the end of the game. Florida had more, so they won. They SHOULDN'T have lost to anyone that they already defeated.

Answer 10

Because they cant admit that people outside of them can actually play football better to them. And if they lose this then all the have is Joakim noah lol. Oh and if they think they'll be good next year, then their sadly mistaken. Tim tebow cant throw, his touchdowns are just the result of the sheer novelty of him actually throwing the ball. Once hes forced to throw more than run then you'll see how overrated he is. Percy is a beast tho.
