Absolutely! IMHO, THAT carries a LOT more weight than where we are ranked after the season is over. Good point, Cee.

I have no way of knowing what goes on in the mind of a recruit, but do you really think going undefeated in regular season play isn't a factor in the way the season is defined? :-/ Cee ----- Original Message ----- From: Gatornet Admin <mailto:gator...@comcast.net> To: gatortalk@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, January 07, 2010 3:59 PM Subject: RE: [gatortalk] Fw: Calendar oops! I understand your logic, but IMHO, at the end of the year, there are only three things that define the previous season - SEC East Champions, SEC Championship and National Championship. We missed two of the three, so it just means that we did great, but we'll have to try again next year. I don't think a recruit is going to look at the final rankings and say "oh, UF is #3. I guess I'll go somewhere else since they didn't finish at #2." My favorite scenario would be for Ingram to rush for -50 yards, fumbles several times and never scores. Colt McCoy gets intercepted five or six times, and in the THIRD overtime (when no one is left watching), Mt. Cody sacks McCoy in the end zone for a safety. Bama wins 2-0.

Uhmm, that two can be as bad as one, its the loneliest number since the number one. I don't get this sentiment at all, wouldn't you rather be #2 than #3? Look at all the play SOW got for their streak of top 5 finishes. We won't win it all every year, so we should strive for the best ranking we can get. We knew on December 5th that we wouldn't be #1, so should we have declined a bowl invitation? No! I will enjoy this game tonight because I don't have a dog in the hunt. If bammer wins, great, the SEC is still dominant, we will be ranked #2 and next year the winner of the SECC is already penciled in for the BCSC game. If Texas wins, great, bammers won't be able to claim their 44,323rd national championship and slimy Nick won't match Urban for number of BCSC, Gators will end up 3rd, which still isn't all bad. My best case scenario is that McCoy is intercepted 3 times, Ingram fumbles twice, Alabama is sacked for a safety but wins in the end 3-2.

You have brought up an interesting subject, Johnny. As everyone knows, I am gator first and SEC second. Publicly, I'm saying that I am pulling for Bama to bring the 4th NC home to the SEC tonight, BUT every Bama fan I talk to has been very obnoxious about it. Even after the whipping they put on us, they can't seem to let it go. They're telling me we were overrated, "pretenders", etc, and had no business even THINKING we could go to Pasadena. Now, I'm "kinda" hoping Texas will spank 'em.
