One team that you have ahead of us just had a losing season, and another whiffed on both of its NCG appearances. I'd rather be us than either of them, frankly.
Actually it wasn't. I'm in agreement that UF has been on the slide since Meyer left, and I intend to tweak w a little strength of schedule data, which I have to believe will knock the buckeyes down a peg. So the data kinda shows Les is doing a damn good job, despite his flaws. Just think all the pumpers have to keep in mind the data shows that we have serious competition and au ain't far from stepping ahead of us.
Yep with that great Gus offense that avg 15 pts a game against Chief? The same offense that this year we were up on 21-0 then put in subs. Yep, that one has me worried.
Anyway you slice it, 4th in the entire nation ain't too damn bad, esp. when you consider our recruiting budget vs that of some of our competitors.
You know, you don't have to exaggerate to the extent you are. There were a few points: A) LSU has had a VERY good run B) We are not the only ones C) We have REAL competition from more than 1 team in our OWN DIVISION Try not to turn this thread into a pissing match.
