Read that this morning and I wanted to throw my laptop through the wall. Not even close to a debate.

Is that really a question?.....
One was a Natty favorite with a Heisman favorite and finished with two losses.
The other was no one's favorite, had a first year starting QB and a second year HC with a brand new offense. And was expected to finish with 3-5 losses and only lost two.
And then, one beat the other.
(Disclaimer: I didn't click on the article. Assuming it's talking bout Florida and Florida State. Excuse my stupidity if it's not.)

Can not take that chick seriously if she really believes beating a 6-7 GT team and Northern Illinois cancels out and exceeds their loss to NC state and the ass whooping we gave them.

Obviously people are looking at the "now" versus the body of work. Big pictures is the UF had a much better season. Oh well...lots of SEC hate out there along with hype eaters.
37-26

Come on guys...you have to look at this objectively...
............................................Team A..................Team B
Regular Season Losses...........1.............................2
Losses Against Rivals..............1.............................1
Division Win............................No..........................Yes
Conference Win.....................No...........................Yes
BSC Bowl Win.........................No..........................Yes
Final AP Ranking....................9.............................10
WE all know we had a great year as a Florida Gator football program. We had exciting games, topped a ton a quality teams, and showed significant improvement. But I would trade our win against FSU for a Win against UGA, an SEC title, and a BCS bowl win any day of the week. Yes, I know winning the ACC isn't as great of an accomplishment as winning the SEC, but FSU isn't IN the SEC...that's the best they could do as a program short of a NC. We had a GREAT year. Team B had a better one.

You forgot:
-Wins over ranked teams
-Head to Head
-Strength of Schedule

Expectations should not being part of your equation. Who gives a fck about expectation and preseason rankings, its all fluff. Head to head is OUT, that just shows who is better...the question isn't who is BETTER...we KNOW who is BETTER. The question is who had the better year. Like I said, we had a GREAT year, had a LOT of wins over ranked teams, but thy don't pass out trophies for wins against ranked teams, friend. Objectively, I would trade 4 wins over tops 12 teams for a conference win and a BCS bowl win any day. Take off the orange and blue shades, remove your deep hate for FSU and look at the numbers objectively.
Team B had a better year.

We exceeded pre-season expectations, the Noles fell below them.
We had the toughest schedule in the country, the Noles had a joke of a schedule
We beat several top 15 teams
We beat FSU by 17 points essentially

You're simply taking in consideration only the aspects of each season that favor UF in asking the question "who had the better season" Again, last time I checked they are not passing out trophies for head to head wins, SOS, or exceeding your pre-season expectations.
UF is the better team, that was proven on the field. FSU had the better season.
Try to have SOME level of objectivity and not be a complete homer.
