    Florida’s 11-0 start has both fans and media alike buzzing as the Gators not only stack up victories but land most of them with decisive margins with the game never really in doubt.

    It also has started a discussion on the Gator Country Full Court Press forum on an interesting topic–how does this team compare in quality to Florida teams in the past? Optimism around the Gators is as high as it’s been in quite a while, leading various posters to mention they think that this is the best Florida team since ______, a blank space that can be filled in a number of different ways depending on your personal opinion.

    Besides being way too early, you need to use the AEM for the past great teams after 11 games, not year end, if you are comparing oranges to oranges. Not clear if you did that.

    2017 was a very good team that almost made the Final Four even after John Egbunu tore his ACL against Auburn. With Egbunu they had a real good shot at winning it all.

    They were really starting to blast teams right before Egbunu got hurt.

    these guys have had a great pre-conference run and it's awesome to see us back in the top 10. I don't know that I'd start comparing them to past glory yet though, it's still early days this season.
