Well we did start the season by beating #18 and #14 back-to-back. Which is a tough task for any team. It also helps that FSU DESTROYED BYU last night.

I don't think it's undeserved, but it is surprising to me.

dont get me wrong I'm not saying you guys dont deserve to be there, I thought it would take longer for you guys to be in the top 10.

we'll see over the next two weeks if we deserve that ranking.

On number one Florida.. after watching tennesee handle them at home, I don't think they last the year. I'm sadly thinking alabama will get the sec...

Their defense gave the Gators a hard time for most of the game, but the Vols offense is terrible.

I think he meant handled as in....weren't blown away. They stayed in the game and handled their business well. They lost, but they didn't get destroyed or embarassed.

completley expected during a SEC game, TN having the SEC defensive player of the year, and floridas running back having a 101 fever and the flu :up:

unranked into number one's house and held them to 23 points while only being beat by 10... they handled florida pretty rough i'd say

Honestly I think Alabama is a much better team than Florida. Obviously I expect SEC games to be somewhat close, but I really thought you would handle the Vols much easier.

I think anyone in the top 12-15 coul end up playing in the NC game....Florida by far has the easiest road their schedule is horrible, but IMHO yesterday showed how much they really miss Harvin and Murphy........Demps and Rainey can be controlled and their run is suspect. Tennessee is absolutely horrible but played well ....they were pumped and ready with a good defense scheme against Tebow....but I think this was a combination of Florida not being quite as great as everyone thinks and Tennessee simply playing over their heads as they played a game they probably will not play the rest of the year. No one will beat Florida and they have a two game schedule...SEC championship and if they win the NC.....personally I think Cal has the goods to play for the NC...but they always seem to lay an egg against a lesser opponent in conference. Ole Miss is good but 4 is a joke IMHO. I simply cannot see the U winning in Blacksburg and at home against OU.......but split and run the table and their may be a whole bunch of 1 loss teams there at the end of the year and at #9 they can work their way into the mix.....LSU in the top 10 is laughable IMHO....it will be interesting to see who Florida ends up playing in the SEC CG and possibly the NC game......

PSU at #5 is a joke too IMO. Give them a few weeks to prove they are that good, because I don't see it right now.

I kinna felt that way too Pete, but i have a soft spot for Jopa

You forget that its a rivalry game, both squads play at their best in those situations.

a win is a win.

Agreed. Bama is going to give them fits especially Ingram.

UF really has no depth at WR, Deonte Thompson and Aaron Hernandez are Tebow's best targets and DT was hurt. Plus Debose is out for the year.

I think this past game showed us how much UF will miss Percy and Murphy.

This is very interesting IMO. Based off of schedule.

jinxer : )

Yeah I absolutely LOVE Jopa!!!

Anywho, it hasn't taken me long to become a Longhorn backer (actually have always liked them, just amplified since I am here now) and I will say they should probably have lost to Tech last night.

They were up by I think 11 with about 3 minutes left, still running the hurry up and McCoy is taking snaps with 18-15 seconds left on the play clock :pity:

Almost gave it away, and running that play clock down to zero is elementary stuff.

They also made a fairly good QB look great.

I think the Longhorns lose at least 2 games this season.

Georgia Tech drops out of the top 25 for losing to Miami; yet USC, who lost to a HORRIBLE Washington team (that went 0-12 last year) only drops to #12.

That's ****ed up.
