Gators In The AP & Coaches Polls (3/10/2025) [Update at #147]

UUCP FTW

 

That is really old school.

 

Methinks this feeling on the forum is the norm.




Or should I say, NORM!!!

 

Yeah, if the NCAA selection committee got each and every 64 teams - I said 64 and not this current nonsense - perfectly seeded and matched, what fun would we have watching 4-#1 seeds playing in the NC weekend with no real upsets? Nothing makes college basketball, especially the tourney, so compelling than the old "what am I witnessing???" makeup. Otherwise, we have major league baseball.

I’m with Jo on this one and agree Cleveland really sucks.

 

It USED to be. But then, along came Drew!

 

I think that was before Jo. Lol

Drew was trying to make it happen but even he packed up and left.

 

The only part I disagree with is your argument that our top wins being better than their top wins could just as easily be flipped to say their losses were better than our losses.

That reasoning doesn’t make sense to me. If we proved we could beat better teams at our best than they could at their best, then the quality of our wins should carry more weight than the quality of our losses.

In other words, you’re saying they were more consistent throughout the season, while we demonstrated a higher ceiling. If that’s the case, I’d take us over them when the win/loss records are otherwise equal, which they are.

 

Absolutely. It's kinda weird how many Gators strive for "objectivity," despite the fact that the Gators roasted those a$$es.
