I mentioned Arkansas because statistically (conference or non-conference) they were the 3rd worst team on Florida's schedule (average stat ranking of 71.00). Hawaii was second-worst with 72.53. <br /><br />And the Fla-Ark game wasn't all that close at 38-7. Borderline blowout. But then again, the closest conference games were Fla-Bama (31-20), Fla-LSU (51-21) and Fla-Vandy (42-14). And of course the loss against Ole Miss. But let's face it... Florida was the best in '08.<br /><br />Thanks again for reading!Edgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04139939153098761575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36312211.post-9717801313096725192009-05-28T15:45:02.217-04:002009-05-28T15:45:02.217-04:00Florida and ....

The disparity in this post between Utah and Florida is 0.21 while their Florida's team stats were 11.9 better than Utah. AKA, Florida played better statistical teams than Utah by almost 12 spots.<br /><br />This is simply saying that these teams were statistically superior to their opponents by wide margins, it does not take into account a multitude of factors, such as being Wyoming, New Mexico, San Diego St, Utah St., Colorado St., UNLV, Weber St..<br /><br />Florida doesn't have to prove anything to Utah when they try and match up schedules, Utah has to scramble to make themselves look respectable when matching up with Florida's schedule.<br /><br />Something like that.RVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298042173093245058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36312211.post-14053141497167799532009-05-28T13:57:39.170-04:002009-05-28T13:57:39.170-04:00What I said was Florida's "superior rankings" - I ...What I said was Florida's "superior rankings" - I don't think I mentioned their poll standing. If you look at my previous post (linked in today's article), you will see that Florida's stat rankings was 20.71. Utah's was 32.65. Now, that's a disparity - we're not talking two-tenths of a difference here.<br /><br />Second thing to consider: the average stat ranking for Florida's opponents was 56.05. For Utah it was 65.78. Again, a much more prominent disparity.<br /><br />What it means is that Florida dominated in a much tougher schedule than Utah. It would appear Florida deserves that #1 based on these factors (and that National Championship). Utah... not so much.Edgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04139939153098761575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36312211.post-49294877308938796822009-05-28T13:29:03.510-04:002009-05-28T13:29:03.510-04:00You knock Utah for wanting to be #1 with their sch...You knock Utah for wanting to be #1 with their schedule, and then say that you can't knock Florida because they are #1?
