Exactly.

"Popularity contest."

Thanks for playing.

 

I'll add a quick thing to that. I hate Boise State...I'm an Iowa State fan and the fact that ISU had to go play Boise State on their own homefield Smurf Turf for a bowl game a few years back, still rankles me. But facts are facts and undefeated is undefeated and that's what I'm basing my comments on.

 

The Gators have consistently mopped the floor with WAC and MAC teams. I don't believe Boise St would have a snowball's chance in hell of beating the Gators if they played next week or anytime for that matter. As a Gator fan I have too many times witnessed a MAC or WAC team come to the swamp and it ain't pretty, it's usually at least 50 points for the Gators and less than 17 for the other team.

I have said all along ,(scroll down a few posts) that ANY team that gives up 35+ points has no business playing for a national championship, that includes Michigan and Ohio ST. The Gators never gave up more than 29 the whole season. What did Boise St do in it's bowl victory? They gave up 42 points. What did Ohio St do against michigan? they gave up 39 points. Neither of them has anything that even remotely resembles a defense. how many point's did the Gators give up defensively? 7, now thats a defense.

All you folks that are bringing up Boise St, wouldn't even bring up boise St if Ohio St had beat the Gators. By your logic Ohio St and Boise state should have split the Championship, but you would never hear that cause Ohio St. is the Big Bad 10 right. I'm still scatching my head as to why they didn't rank Boise St #2 AHEAD OF OHIO ST in the final poll.

You want a playoff? How about Boise St steps onto the field at Neyland Stadium(VOLS) in front of 105,000 and then take them to Doak Cambell(Noles) , and then take em to Atlanta to face Arkansas, and if they win all of them, then they have earned the right to play The Mighty Gators

Oh it's great to be a Gator fan these days, better than sex, better than chocalate, it's almost better than fishin and drinkin beer, but not quite.

 

Now I don't know about the better than sex part, Cripplecreek!! :lol: :lol:

 

Once the Gators came back to beat the vols 21-20 this season, I knew Florida was no joke this year. TN had that game won but got to complacent. Florida deserved it. I love the vols and always root against the Gators, but I was pulling for them all the way in the Fiesta Bowl.

 

Your right flyer, I may have been goin out on a limb there, thank goodness my significant other of 10 years doesn't care about trucking or college football. The clear history tool, what a wonderful thing.
