Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Or tripped, at least. We’re two weeks in to the college football season, and of the state’s five biggest college football programs – only the Bulls and Knights remain undefeated. Miami-made sports radio host Dan Le Batard took notice Monday, and called out the current state of college football in Florida. “South Florida and Central Florida are vying to be the best teams in the state,” Le Batard said (with about nine minutes left in the segment). “I am so sad these days that Florida, FSU, and Miami are afterthoughts. That used to be running the sport, you know what I mean? Those three teams, whenever they played, you had to pay attention on Saturdays!” And now? We’re not sure what you should worry about more in Tallahassee: the Seminoles’ struggles against FCS Samford, or that lame turnover backpack. For a program that once stood on the shoulders of giants, the red-leather accessory indicates a long fall from grace. If you’re going to embrace a sideline trophy, go all in – Miami’s turnover chain cost $98,000. The Gators just blew the nation’s longest winning streak to Kentucky – who last beat UF in 1986, four years before Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web. You could make a better argument for No. 21 Miami. The Hurricanes lost in Week 1 – but don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater; Miami lost to No. 12 LSU, and is the only one of the group to blow early-season FCS competition out of the water*. (*Miami beat Savannah State 77-0 – while UCF QB McKenzie Milton threw three interceptions against S.C. State, FSU trailed Samford at halftime, and South Florida didn’t cover the spread against Elon Phoenix.) Even still – the question remains: are UCF and South Florida the best teams in the state? For the time being, we think so - but don't count Miami out.

If people say something enough, people eventually start believing it. 3

Miami has a $100,000 giant gem incrusted Ibis that FSU thought was stupid and now they have a $500 woman’s purse that they have to pretend not to hate. I have never been happier to have CCS as a coach. 2

It could only be more perfectly CWT if it had been confiscated for violating the stadiums clear bag policy. 1
