Florida is getting ALL of the calls against Mizzou.
Would appear a phone call came in from Birmingham to do EVERYTHING possible to protect the Gators record.
I see why they wanted us for homecoming!!!! ๐ง๐ง๐ง๐ง๐ง๐ง๐ง๐ง๐ง๐ง๐ง๐ง๐ง๐ง๐ง๐ง๐ง๐ง๐ง๐ง๐ง๐ง๐ง๐ง๐ง๐ง๐ง๐ง๐ง
Since you asked nicely, Iโll actually explain!
Last week, I had Ole Miss at No. 5 and Florida rounding out my ballot at No. 25.
In my eyes, giving UF a 10-spot bump for one game a month into the season seemed like a fair move.
I didnโt want to put a team I had 25th all the way up into the top 10 (unless it was like the first week), especially since while their offense is obviously great, their defense isโฆ shaky.
Ole Miss I still have top-10 because Iโm very high on them still and they do have that great win over LSU (I intentionally placed them ahead of the Tigers because of H2H).
Florida padded the record with FAU (66-21) and Campbell (52-3). Their only real test was a 5 point escape at Auburn.
Ole Miss already took down #24 Louisville 41-38 and #7 LSU 32-24.
The Swamp is about to find out what actual SEC football looks like. No respect spot the ball!
Donโt get me wrong Florida fans Iโm well aware and worried about Baughโฆ but both Louisville backs are equal to Baugh.. we held those boys in check. Is it Saturday yet?
I grew up in the sticks!! Never went to one camp always struggled to keep lights and running water on. The next time i need an unsolicited and uninformed opinion, Iโll know where to go lil fella. ๐ฏ
Vanderbiltโs 5-star true freshman QB Jared Curtis is making his FIRST road start Saturday at Jordan-Hare
Heโll have to do it on the Plains in front of 87,000.
Not the easiest welcome to the SEC.
Be there. Be loud

I do find it particularly funny how much legs this narrative has grown in a game that was won simply because it was the road team. Florida was flagged 16 times - objectively a lot - 7!!! of them were procedural penalties. Not all flags have the same impact. You can break them down.
Several others entirely inconsequential, two personal fouls after scoring plays which were enforced on a kickoff. Pointless. A holding call on a 6 yard punt return. Changes nothing. The only truly bad call was the unnecessary roughness hit on the QB going out bounds.
While Auburn had 6 flags thrown, 3 of them directly extended drives that led to 17 points. lol one of which being an egregious PI call to start the game.
Weird hill to die on after a win.
