In at #25

We come in at #25 in the coaches, #26 in the AP. Looks like the media is back in love with Florida again.

Florida is just incredibly talented. They've earned the right to some love, imo.

I agree they should be ranked, but start out at 19 is pretty good jump for your first time back in the rankings.

Same very old story.. dumb, unknowledgeable voters and illogical ranking systems.

BCS, RPI, Sagarin, et al. have the same fatal flaw. Too much empahsis on wins/losses and not enough on strength of schedule.

So Florida can beat a bunch of cup cakes and get ranked higher than the Dawgs.

The ranking systems and voters all prescribe to.. it's better to beat a lot of easy teams than to lose to a really good team.

Trust me... the Dawgs could dominate Mich State or Wisconsin and look where they are ranked. It's because the Big-10 is a weak conference. There's a difference in talent between conferences. Winning in the SEC or ACC is harder than winning in the Big-10 or Pac-10.

Florida absolutely did NOT deserve to jump more than we did. But I digress...
