Even Georgetown is ahead of us now...didn't we cancel them out?
We can't afford a letdown at Tennessee if we want a #1 seed.

You got to love the AP. We lose to a decent Arkansas team and they drop us 5 spots. Miami loses to a really bad Wake Forrest team by 15 and they drop them 3 spots.

more relevant...We lose to Mizzou #41 RPI by 3 on the road and we fall 3 spots
Miami loses to Wake #140 RPI by 15 on the road and they fall 3 spots
I'm okay with us being #8. Teams will fall in front of us and we will be where we need to be at the end.
Go Gators!

I wondered how this would play out. Total BS.

No worries, really. At this point I don't care so much about seed, but as to where and who UF plays in the bracket. We'll get punished if UF loses to UT, but I'm starting to believe it will most likely make no difference in our chances in the tourney. I think many of us realize, this team CAN lose to a number of teams away from home, but I still contend that if UF is hot, the Gators are the most dangerous team in the tourney.

The coaches poll always gets made fun of because its really never the coaches who do the voting. SID I'd guess, or maybe even some intern. Whats sad is that its often better than the AP poll is.

Our history of fading-down-the-stretch in sports is more worrisome than anyone cares to admit.

Love our position in the polls. High, but not get-the-big-head, target-on-the-back high

Doesn't worry me as I'm not aware of it.

I find your jaded view of UF sports history fascinating... That's why Billy has one of the best winning percentages of all time in the tourney...it's because his Gator teams have a "history fading down the stretch" 
and since you said "sports" I assume you think football has a history of fading down the stretch? winning 3 out of 4 championship games, reeks of fading down the stretch as well..lol

The AP underrating the Gators won't impact our seed. After weekend, Lunardi still had UF as a one seed.

Until we can establish ourselves as a consistent scoring threat by getting the ball inside to Young or to Murphy and finishing, I have no quarrel with where we are ranked. We have lost balance by taking too many poor three shots from questionable looks.

Our fall in the polls reflects a lack of respect for SEC teams.

Is there a comment of the year thread? Or maybe a way to move this to a Seminole board?

Seems to me that in the past(most times) when our f-ball and b-ball teams get near the top they immediately lose a game or two; I've always thought they couldn't handle their big heads.
