How is UF at 9-3, with one loss to a then unranked Auburn justified in the top ten this year?  They had no major upsets that I recall, and with all the teams with better records behind them, must be that **** SEC multiplicative factor.  You know, if they are in the SEC they get their votes multiplied by a factor of 1.8679 to get them to where SEC teams are supposed to be ranked.

The media is having a love affair with Tebow. Now other explanation.

They can't give the Heisman to someone on a team NOT in the top 10.

The computers and humans rank them around 10-12. Just comes down to SOS and the closeness of their losses.

We have the same record, beat an Auburn team in their house while UF lost to them at home... and have the #16th toughest schedule in the country.

By that logic, we should be around #13 or so.

It's the SEC.  The media loves stroking the SEC's ego.

Well, considering UF lost to 2 teams in BCS bowl games by a total of 16 points and lost to #23 Auburn while USF lost to a team in the freaking international bowl as well as the #22 and #25 teams. Plus, while USF probably had a harder out of conference schedule, they probably wouldn't come out of the SEC with a 9-3 record. And to the person that said UF had no upsets, that's because it's kinda hard to have upsets when you're constantly ranked in the top 10.

Scary fact: UF loses only 5 starters this year. eeeek
