Florida has lost six times since 2006 to unranked opponents, and three have been to Ole Miss.
Urban Meyer, the Ryder Cup is over, so stop acting like the Euros and whining about the loss. There was absolutely nothing illegal about the blocked extra point.
Florida by all means is still in the hunt for the national title, especially if the Gators continue to run their offense through all-purpose star Percy Harvin, this season’s DeSean Jackson.
Forecast looks good
Surprising 4-0 teams that you might want to keep an eye on:
Tulsa (4-0) vs. Rice
Oklahoma State (4-0) vs. Texas A&M
Vanderbilt (4-0) vs. Auburn
Kentucky (4-0) vs. Alabama
Gripping the Football
The Vols just can’t seem to grasp the concept of handing the ball off, can they? Last week Tennessee fumbled near the end zone against Florida, and Ainge muffed one last year that turned the game around against the Gators.
Payton Manning was in attendance, but unfortunately he couldn’t make the handoff to Foster either.
I’m really starting to believe Tennessee is trying to get Phillip Fulmer fired, don’t you?
The Tigers still haven’t answered the quarterback situation, and fans in Auburn are starting to become uneasy with the unresolved carousel. Auburn managed only one first down in the entire fourth quarter.
Heating up
As the race in the Big East starts to heat up, we take a sentence per team outlook at the contenders in the conference.
Contenders
South Florida: Grothe has played smart football thus far, and believe it or not, the Bulls are in the thick of the national title hunt.
West Virginia: The Mountaineers struggled early but are still the most talented team in the conference by far.
Connecticut: The Huskies have the best virtually unknown skill player in the nation in running back Donald Brown, but they lost starting quarterback Tyler Lorenzen on Friday night to a broken foot.
On the outside looking in
Pittsburgh: After a disappointing season-opening loss, the Panthers have bounced back with three straight wins.
Louisville: The offense has started to click for the Cardinals, who are averaging 36 points a game after managing only two points in a loss to Kentucky to start the season.
On the outside, I mean way outside
Syracuse: It’s like trying to make out a reflection in the mirror after a long hot shower—the Orange are naked and cold and looking for someone to throw in the towel.
