I'd say that's no basis at all!<BR/><BR/>Also, I highly doubt you actually watched the ND game. The score may not reflect it, but ND was utterly dominant in the second half, on both sides of the ball. Check out a play-by-play recap (or even just a drive chart) and it's obvious. ND only punted once and even that was after a 5 play, 39 yard possession. GT's offense -- basically Calvin Johnson -- was completely shut down; their best possession only netted 30 yards.<BR/><BR/>Good second half teams are a sign of a good coaching staff that is able to make the necessary changes (along with the players willing and able to make them).CorrNDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15371462855078578516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1157517214167357012006-09-06T00:33:00.000-04:002006-09-06T00:33:00.000-04:00Glad to see you're celebrating your plunge deeper ...Glad to see you're celebrating your plunge deeper into the Gator Nation- in which end zone were your seats for game?

As teams start to win or lose, they will drop off or move into the top 25, and as we see how teams play, their places within the 25 will become more inline with reality.... it doesn't matter where you start (like ND), it matters where you finishLoganAvatarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156269038113781638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1157491354515157652006-09-05T17:22:00.000-04:002006-09-05T17:22:00.000-04:00Home Slice,I was at the UT/Cal game and you are ex...Home Slice,<BR/><BR/>I was at the UT/Cal game and you are exactly correct in your analysis. The result of the game is much more an indictment of Cal (and the Pac-10) than it was an announcement of "Tennessee football is back" (as I saw the loser UT fan sitting next to me, who didn't stand the whole game cause he was holding hands with his girlfriend, text some other loser). The UT touchdowns right before and right after the half we're on identical plays, the corner completely blew both tackle attempts (defense in the pac-10) and the UT receiver had the speed to go the distance. The running play that made it 35-0 was embarrassing for Cal, I haven't seen tacklers quit on a play like that since the UF/Nebraska Fiesta Bowl. <BR/><BR/>Cal has no business being ranked after a performance like that and UT hasn't shown anything to move up. Watch for UT to blow out Air Force and have an inflated ranking going into the game against the mighty Gators. Take UF and the points. <BR/><BR/>CrabdoggAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1157488585323700062006-09-05T16:36:00.000-04:002006-09-05T16:36:00.000-04:00Anyone else surprised that Texas moved to two for ...Anyone else surprised that Texas moved to two for the 1 vs 2 angle?
