Here's why I agree with this ranking. The rankings, as mentioned in the article, seek to rank the teams that are playing best that week. Granted that losing to Ole Miss sucks a fat one, but that doesn't mean that any team better than Ole Miss can beat UF, especially with the way the Gators are playing presently.
Just because a girl was fugly in the 5th grade, doesn't mean she wont be a stunner today.
Look, the Ole Miss game was a freak, fluke loss. A 1 point, special teams debacle. Yes, it hurt. Yes, it was at home, but that's SEC football. Ole Miss has beaten the Gators before and the Rebels are not a pushover team. Deal with it. The Gators are now hitting their stride, and right in time too, Georgia also appears to be peaking.
Meyer has expressed his concern on his players peaking emotionally too early. He is taking the same advice given to him by Lou Holtz to the Cocktail Party as he did to the 2006 BCS Championship Game. I'm sure we'll be reading about pictures of Richt and the dancing puppies festooning the weight room, locker room, dorm room, and every other conceivable place. But it will be measured, deliberate, and incremental.
Pat Dooley, one of my faves, calls this week's FL/GA game the biggest ever. I agree. I think that this game will be a momentum game for the winning program.
Tip of the hat to the Jota for the heads-up.
