SuitedAces21 2,722 Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Congrats to Florida. Both teams played really well I thought. Those who thought Florida would just rout us were just being ridiculous...two extremely good teams out there today. Great football game.That was with Percy Harvin. He makes it a whole different game. That being said, Alabama is probably at worst the 4th best team in the country. Link to post Share on other sites
bleacherbum3 9 Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 That being said, Alabama is probably at worst the 4th best team in the country.Sounds about right.I don't like Alabama, but I can definitely sympathize with their fans. Why aren't they still in the mix? Their only crime was losing late. Now everything has played out and they're like everyone else at the top - a really good 1-loss team.Assuming Oklahoma wins tonight, it's going to be Okla-Fla in the title game. And a big part why is the stupid pre-season polls. Okla and Fla were ranked higher than Texas, Bama, Texas Tech, Penn St, Utah, Boise, etc....So everyone lost once and we're back where we started. Silly. Link to post Share on other sites
Vandees 0 Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Gotta love that classy Florida player kicking an Alabama player on the ground on the final play.No, the kick/knee wasn't necessary. Neither was pushing through the line with all your might down 11 with 19 seconds left. Let them snap it, down it, and say good game. Don't be a poor loser. No excuse to kick/knee though.Kind of suprising. I thought Alabama's style of play would wear down Florida, but it was the other way around. I would have taken the 10 points all day, good thing I didn't bet.Both teams looked great. I would like to see Bama/Texas so Bama can shut up all the TX fans that think they got jobbed.

KowboyKoop 0 Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 That was with Percy Harvin. He makes it a whole different game. That being said, Alabama is probably at worst the 4th best team in the country.Percy's been in question all week and everyone still assumed Bama would get routed. I don't think it would've been much different had he played, yeah, he's great, but he's still just one player. Florida won today b/c of Tebow's passing game today...they didn't get much on the ground b/c our D-line did extremely well against the run. Harvin wouldn't have just magically found a ton of holes that weren't there. I'd definitely agree that Alabama is probably the 4th best team. Link to post Share on other sites

Sure, the pushing might have been a bit much..but the kick is clearly the much more serious offense, that we can clearly agree on. Link to post Share on other sites

KowboyKoop 0 Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 no one is faster with the ball than P Harv. no one. and its not even close. he scores at least two tds.That's just a guess in a hypothetical situation. He has 16 TDs all year in 12 games (not counting today's game). That's an average of much less than 2 a game....so there's simply no way to just randomly state that he would've scored "at least two tds." Yes, he's a great player..but he's only even averaged 5 rushing attempts and 3 catches per game this year. That's 8 touches a game. Acting like he's the difference between a close battle all game and a Florida rout is overstating things. Link to post Share on other sites

Painter567 0 Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Almost gametime. Regardless of what happens....what a great freaking game this should be...hopefully it lives up the hype.It did....Cross posted from Army thread, just cause.....SEC CHAMPS!!!!!!!!Should be.....HEADED TO NATIONAL TITLE GAME!

Painter567 0 Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 20-17 Alabama. Nice drive. Bad play call on that last play. Let's see if this defense can get the ball back.I have a feeling that this thread would have a lot more attention right now if we were down by 24.I was posting all game in another thread......posted every score.....regardless who it was.

You know that if Florida was routing Bama....there would've been quite a few people stopping by to let me know about it...but since I was right in that Bama could hang with Florida..there's not much to rub in my face.
