Rankings won't help there. <BR/><BR/>But if the Gators do win, then you can say no doubt they should be the #2 team in the nation. Maybe some votes for #1. So it doesn't matter where they're going to be ranked this week because a win next week answers everything.Liamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00030035240540942238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1160277709452934932006-10-07T23:21:00.000-04:002006-10-07T23:21:00.000-04:00I'll have new ladder rankings on Monday when I can...I'll have new ladder rankings on Monday when I can get back to my database :)FreKy Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06322127577984239799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1160276071538262792006-10-07T22:54:00.000-04:002006-10-07T22:54:00.000-04:00The Florida offense is not impressive.However, tha...The Florida offense is not impressive.<BR/><BR/>However, that D is the truth.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08338217120051516790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1160274565900549682006-10-07T22:29:00.000-04:002006-10-07T22:29:00.000-04:00Dan, I guess our MQ from the summer about your lik...Dan, I guess our MQ from the summer about your liking Tim Tebow and my liking Chris Leak is kind of playing both sides of the fence on itself now, huh?<BR/><BR/>I'll concede a draw if you will.<BR/><BR/>rob (warwick)Jingoisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01269679565181077961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1160274204652571072006-10-07T22:23:00.000-04:002006-10-07T22:23:00.000-04:00I'll just say it annoyed me mildly that Michigan d...I'll just say it annoyed me mildly that Michigan didn't enter that post at all.
