EXACTLY!

Miami is a great team playing as good or better than anyone in the country. I think the Gators are better but it cab easily be argued the other way. However Katz made his point by saying Miami didn't have a bad loss and UF did at Arkansas. FACT is that is flat out NOT TRUE.

Didn't Ben Hill Griffin donate the land for FGCU?

Taking off my orange & blue glasses for the moment the Canes are playing out of their minds perhaps as good as anyone even our Gators.

If you think Miami is great, watch them play lol. Sure they played some very good basketball, but not as dominating as UF was. Look at UM vs. f$u or today at Clemson, who is 1 of 16 & the shots weren't all bad or well-defended by Miami they just aren't going it.

I think any argument made for either team has merit. At this point in time its meaningless, though.

I don't like sloppy journalism or reporting and the insistence that Yeguette is out for the year when there is no evidence of that makes Katz look somewhat biased.

I agree, but that doesn't automatically make them a better team. And their resume isn't better than ours for the reasons that Katz listed.

Also, I'd take Wilbekin over Larkin. It's sort of a wash on offense, and Wilbekin is the much better defender.

This.

Good, yeah. Great, not yet, but definitely great by UM standards.

we don't have a top 50 road run. Not ONE.

I forgot about NC State, but UNC won't be top 50 for long.

More to the point, how many top 50 road games have we played? One? And we lost by one point in that game to the same team that dominated Miami on a neutral court?

You kind of have to squint to make that an unquestionably better resume.

True.

ESPN has an ACC bias!!! Miami when the lights are bright will choke IMHO. Florida is the real deal!!

Agreed

I wonder if Clemson will be a bad loss?

Good lord. At this point, it should count as a bad win.

Miami gets another win by the skin of their teeth in the weak ACC against a pitiful Clemson team.

gatorbogey · 02-17-2013, 07:58 PM

I'm going to play both sides of the fence here. First side: Top 50? Really? Sorry, these teams do not qualify.

Other side of the fence. Miami currently has a better rpi and SoS than the Gators.

With who? Duke? They will flake out, Miami as well, and NC State? I think Alabama, Arkansas, Mizzou, and UK ( with Noel ) obviously, could beat any of those teams... JMO...
