Yeah I just think without CRod and all those other running backs and with how bad your o-line looked, it's just too tall of a task to expect Kentucky to come into the Swamp and beat a red hot Florida team. Not being able to run the ball effectively also plays to Florida's biggest strength on the defense, our secondary. Florda 31 Kentucky 17

Not just any Pac-12 team, the defending Pac-12 champ that took Ohio State to the wire and likely beats them had Cameron Rising not gone down in the 3rd quarter of that game. Florida is legit.

Love how Florida is ranked 4 spots behind a team they literally just beat

Fun fact, Boutte deleted all LSU related stuff from his social media. He's either opting out for the rest of the season, or transferring somewhere. You could tell at the game. He was mad and pissed all game. I knew Brian Kelly was going to be a disaster.

No, it's also LSU. When do they ever play to their talent level except like once every 5 years. LSU has more players than basically anybody else in the NFL. They recruit top 5 basically year in year out. They should be in the conversation that UGA, Bama, Ohio State, and Clemson are in year in year out based on the amount of talent they possess. Instead in the last 10 years, we've gotten one very good team (2018), and one elite national winning team (2019). Every other year has either been average to above average at best, all the way to awful.

LSU's special teams might just be the worst special teams I've seen in my life. In general though, LSU just looked utterly garbage. Team was dysfunctional, apathetic, with zero energy given. Jayden Daniels looked like a discount Emory Jones. The o-line looked awful. The running game was non-existent. The offense in general was really bad. The defense was not that much better either. Secondary got torched by an FSU team that has been pretty bad at throwing the ball. The d-line was okay but nothing to write home about. Same thing with the WRs. With the product that I saw today, I'm not even sure LSU could get to 5 wins this season.

Need AR to make Florida a Cinderella. Florida in 2022 becomes a hybrid of Auburn 2010 and Auburn 2013. We find insane ways to win close games and we have a Cam-like QB. Here's hoping.

I mean Utah is a top tier defense so

Florida was extremely opportunistic. Florida played like Auburn 2013 against Utah. Here's hoping we can replicate this throughout the season.

A undefeated Florida-UGA top 5 matchup in Jacksonville would hit different.

Then who won? Florida literally gave Utah a free touchdown when we drove down the field and Montrell Johnson fumbled the ball which Utah returned to our end zone. By all metrics Florida should have had another TD. Both Utah and Florida are near identical in a power rating. They're both top 10 caliber teams.

Kentucky was struggling against Miami Ohio. They're probably gonna lose like 35-17

I think it will be the only game they lose. Think about it, they were THIS close to winning this game too. Who's going to beat them? Oregon? LOL. UCLA has no defense. Same thing with USC.

This team deserves to be in the top 10. After all, we just beat a top 7 team and the defending Pac-12 champion.

Worst clock management I have ever seen in my life. UGA truly had a shot to deal the final killing blow and they didn't take it and Kirby is just as much to blame as Stetson.

I think Utah may have been the best team not to make the playoffs this year. What they did to Oregon twice in a row was nothing short of impressive.

It's inevitable at this point and with the transfer portal I don't see Alabama not making it into the playoffs until Saban has retired and the majority of the talent he's recruited has left Bama. The scariest part is that Saban hasn't even mastered the transfer portal yet, but not to worry, he will soon.

@sds1967 To be fair, almost every non-Bama fan more or less hates Bama. Imperial might be a bit immature but he's by no means the only one that expresses great disdain for rival teams in this site, and at least compared to others he bothers to actually have conversations with people instead of just insulting them (like your fellow brethren BamaTime) or spouting out pure delusions (like Negan or FantasyFootballGod). Imperial (hopefully) will grow out of it. What can you say about others who are clearly years older if not decades older that are far worse? My advice to you, don't take anyone on this site too seriously, and don't take things personally unless people are specifically targeting you.

It is getting pretty tiresome seeing this extremely close games against LSU but almost always losing to them. I am too just about done with this rivalry. Can't wait for them to bring Auburn and Bama into out division after OU and Texas join so we don't have to deal with LSU anymore. At a certain point super close games where one team loses 3 times out of 4 are not what makes a good rivalry.

I disagree that Oregon team was really good. Don't forget that Ohio State would have likely blown out Alabama had it not been for that fumble and interception in the first half that netted Bama 14 points. Ohio State could have very well beat Bama 49-28 or something had those turnovers not happened. Oregon and Bama were about the same level although due to their offense I'd give Oregon a 1 TD edge.

Lol watch Tennessee upset this Alabama team. For sure this has got to be the worst Alabama team since the 2010 team. Maybe the worst Alabama team since 2007. Yikes.

It's interesting to see which unit has the advantages in the trenches. Florida's o-line has been the best in the SEC but so has UGA's d-line. Florida's d-line has been top tier but UGA's o-line is getting better and better each game. Right now if I had to bet I'd bet that Florida's d-line has a bigger advantage over UGA's o-line than UGA's d-line has over Florida's o-line. This will be a defensive battle, and which ever team keeps their pocket more protected and is able to get better shots downfield will win the game. Another interesting dynamic to note is that for both defenses, their Achilles heel is the secondary. I see UGA fans talking about ammunitions from the Jax loss but what about how Florida has been dissed by media all of off-season most of whom have labeled the UF blowout win over UGA last season as a fluke. Florida is just as ready to make a national statement by beating UGA twice in a row as UGA is ready to have their revenge. This will be a very good and close game I don't think UGA's defense has been pushed offensively yet and I trust in Dan Mullen and this Florida team to push this UGA defense more than anybody else so far.

I disagree that you think Saban will be able to get this season's particular Alabama team ready to win the natty and in all likelihood ready enough to beat a UGA team who may be the greatest defense ever assembled. In all fairness I really do hope that Saban beats UGA and keeps the 1980 memes alive but unfortunately I don't see how Bama will be able to stop this UGA team. Bama has a porous o-line, a not so great QB (his performances against the only 2 good teams he's faced have left a lot to be desired) and a defense that has been torched by both Florida and TAMU. UGA at worst has an offense that is just as good as those two, and a defense that is perhaps the greatest defense ever assembled. Hope you're right, I really do, but I don't think you are.

I disagree this is the worst Saban Alabama team since 2010. While Alabama has fielded fairly underwhelming defenses these last few years, they've been able to neutralize that deficiency by fielding top tier offenses. This, however, is the first year where Alabama has both a underwhelming defense AND offense.

No I sincerely believe Mullen will pull off the upset. You have to believe!

Did you seriously forget about Florida???

No. This is why I believe Florida will pull the upset and beat UGA in Jacksonville this year.

Florida upsets Georgia. They're gonna go into that game confident after beating Kentucky like 31-3 and Mullen and company will humble them.

You Georgia fans really are clowns aren't you

Tennessee beats Ole Miss and you heard it here first but I think Josh Heupel pulls off the upset of the decade and beats Alabama in Tuscaloosa. Alabama's defense is not good. Florida showed this to us. TAMU proved it. Paired with the fact that Tennessee has a very good defense I think UT will finish this year with only 3 losses (Pitt, Florida, and UGA). If Tennessee beats Ole Miss they'll be red hot and rolling and it's becoming more and more difficult to see how this Alabama defense will be able to stop them. So yeah I'm calling it if Tennessee beats Ole Miss they will extend their winning streak by beating Alabama. Pete Goldin will be fired right after the Tennessee loss.
