Florida to forfeit their 2006 hoops national title due to the fact they weren't the SEC conference champion.

No word as to whether they'll forfeit their 1996 football title due to the fact it was won in a rematch.

Stay tuned.................

thats what i commented a few mins ago in another thread.......other college sports, teams are still given a chance to compete for a Nat. Champ without winning their conference...........hypocrytes from the SEC

Well, the Florida Gator Basketball team won the SEC conference tournament. Add a 12th team and play a conference title game and you've got nothing to whine about anymore!

the only reason you have a conference championship game is b/c of the money grubbing school officials..........its about the 2 best teams in the country....period!!!!...........there is nothing in there about winning your conference or having a champ game......Florida is not the 2nd best team in the nation by far

 

[Teddy Dupay]

Florida is clearly the 2nd best team in the country...if not the best. You don't go 12-1 with the schedule with the one loss coming in a borderline questionably officiated game and not get rewarded...but apparently it still doesnt earn you respect. Michigan hasnt beaten anyone with a pulse all year. and when the stage was set for them to win the conference and earn a berth in the NC, they choked. I don't know what makes Michigan "one of the top 2 teams in the country." I really don't. Enlighten me. I'll wait for the classic "Florida won but didn't look pretty doing so."

Critics like to rag that Florida's offense hasn't burned up the SEC in the Meyer era. They've made Meyer and his offensive coordinator, Dan Mullen, their personal whipping boys but nobody wants to talk about the fact that the Gators have faced FIVE top 25 defenses in each of the last two seasons. This season, Florida has faced as many top 25 defenses as Michigan (3), Notre Dame (2) and Southern Cal (0) combined.

The Florida offense, for all its flaws and inconsistencies, still averages more yards (398.2) than Notre Dame (398), Southern Cal (393.3) and Michigan.

All the critics say that the Gators don't ever throw the ball down the field yet Florida averages 8.75 yards per pass attempt and 13.67 yards per completion. Michigan averages 7.68 yards per attempt and 12.38 yards per completion. Southern Cal averages 7.62 yards per attempt and 12.4 per completion. Notre Dame averages just 7.53 yards per attempt and just 11.95 per completion.

As for Florida's quarterbacks, we all know that Chris Leak can't run and Tim Tebow can't throw, right? So why have they combined for a quarterback rating of 155.2 while Notre Dame (with Charlie Cheeseburger calling the plays and Brady Quinn chunking) is 150.6, Michigan is at 144.5 and Southern Cal is 143.2.

I feel you Teddy. Michigan has two decent wins all year and those were against a fairly good Wisconsin team at home and a highly overrated Notre Dame team whose claim to fame was coming from way behind to beat a pathetic Michigan State ballclub. I know all you Michigan fans are going scream that you beat Iowa and Penn St., but let's be honest those teams aren't very legit. I don't really know if Michigan is that good of a team when their claim to fame is that they LOST to Ohio State, a team whose big win other than against Michigan was beating the Horns and a freshamn QB in his first start. Florida deserves a shot and will prove themselves in the National Championship. Since this is a site where we discuss wagering I am poised to make my biggest play of the year on the FLORIDA GATORS on the MONEYLINE. YES SIR I said it first Gators on the ML!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ELVIS]

mich is very good and will whip usc in the rose bowl. i expect ohio st to beat fla.

but to insult either school is not right.


the system is flawed at best and this why every nat champ that doesn't go undefeated is no clear champ. half of those could probably be argued due to some teams getting hot at the end of the year, but being left out due to a loss.

anyway, i am just glad to see usc not get in. after the huge win over the irish (we don't have a defense and refuse to play in a conference lest we barely get above .500 every year.....). they get beat by a team that could only muster a td on a scramble by an average qb.

wow, we could have seen troy smith rush for 5 td's against usc, but we will have to settle for a few less against the gators.....:SIB

 

[gardenweasel]

hide the women and children.....

michigan vs florida shinkick coming right up.....:chairshot :box2:

 

[Jabberwocky]

"Florida is not the 2nd best team in the nation by far"

yeah, ok.

Florida wins the national championship...and then you can stuff it in your piehole.

 

[Kewl Tigers]

I agree noway Fla the second best team in the country noway.. Ohio State is going to kill FLA

 

[Jabberwocky]

yeah...just like lsu..lay your money down and come get some.

GO GATORS

 

[Kewl Tigers]

I never did say that LSU was # 2. Noway, Fla or LSU can play with Ohio State. I think we would have seen a better match-up on a neutral field Mich and Ohio State

Slobberknocker or whatever your name is.......don't take it so personal.......it was my opinion.....cases could be made for a handful of teams for the 2nd best, thats why we need a playoff to decide it on the field and if you said that to me in the prison yard......i'd rake our softball field with your face

Stay tuned.................

LOL, what a sore loser. First of, the BCS was not around in 1996. Secondly, they have something called an NCAA TOURNAMENT that they won. Pretty lame argument, but that's to be expected. :mj10: :mj10:

 

[RollTide72]

Florida is not the 2nd best team in the nation by far

Prove it!:shrug:

 

[Dice34]

jan. 8th it'll be proven........just watch

 

[in the black]

Michigan is not playing Florida on January 8th so it will not be proven.

 

[RollTide72]

LAME LAME LAME... give me reasons why you don't think Florida is the 2nd best team in the nation. I can tell you this, the Wolverines would have gotten their asses kicked a second time on Jan. 8.

 

[TouchdownJesus]

Sorry, but you are comparing apples with oranges. Yes, this system sucks, but its not a tournament.

Its completely different to win a tourney, than to be selected for a one game-2 team title game. If there was a tourney and Mich and OSU won out to play in title game....no problem. But, with this system, a rematch is garbage.

Blame the system. If Michigan wanted to be selected among 2 best teams, they simply needed to beat Ohio State. They didn't.
