Florida wins the preseason national championship

PrintNever before has a team received so many first place votes in the preseason AP Poll. Never!
Florida got 58 of 60, and some shitty team from somewhere else got the other two. Pity votes one would assume. The rest of the Top 25 is inconsequential.
It's not surprising that Florida got that many votes when they're led by a quarterback who does things no other quarterback has ever done. Mainly get a media blowjob after averaging 3.9 ypc.
The previous record for first place votes was USC in 2007. They went on to win the national championship that year. I think. I really don't pay attention after the preseason polls are released.
But if you're living in one of those flyover states and rooting for some team not named Florida, here's the rest of the Top 25.
Not that it fucking matters.

Okay whoever did not vote for Florida please stand up. When we find you, and we will, you will be bound, gagged and will listen to “the word” as delivered by Tim Tebow. Spend five minutes with the young man and you will be saved.

You will also be issued the customary pair of jorts and an unbuttonable hawaiian shirt

If Florida loses at home this year to some middle of the road bowl team, while Texas and USC go undefeated, can another bawling, egomaniacal pussyrubbing fest on a post-game podium by Tebow still power the Gators into the title game if they don’t lose another game?
My guess is yes, simply because it is the college football version of The Resurrection.

Do not mock Tim. He is a righteous warrior and kind man. I should know. I mow his lawn.
And sometimes I peek through the window and watch his girlfriend mow her lawn.

I particualarly enjoyed Gary Danielson on CBS’s preview show comparing Tebow to a cross between Roger Staubach and Magic Johnson.

Interesting to compare the AP and USA Today polls (and others as well) . . . does ANYBODY who votes in ANY of these things have an independent thought?
Seems to me the first poll that gets any circulation becomes the standard by which the sheep-voters polled for the rest buy into.

3.8 ypc
I knew he was overrated but fuck that’s surprisingly bad considering rushing is his thing.

Let’s not forget the patented jump pass.

I think Florida is the best team in the country, they have the best coach, and their schedule is forgiving.
All of that written, when was the last time an overwhelming preseason #1 sealed the deal?
Miami ’01 is all I can think of.

I hate to look into those eyes and see an ounce of pain.

Scipio:
Miami in 2001 was ranked #2 going into the season; ironically, it was Florida coming in ranked in the top spot. 2004 USC started and finished at number 1 as well as 1999 Florida St. Those are the only 2 in the BCS era from what I recall.

I lasted 1:04 of that Tebow video, then couldn’t take it any longer.

In 2005, there were 64 votes in the AP poll. USC received 60 first place votes and we received 4 first place votes. With four fewer AP votes in 2009, Florida (defending champion that dispatched OU the year before) received 58 and we received 2.
I like our odds. I’ve also got us a 10:1 in Vegas on $50, which will win me $550 in January.
Hook ’em!

Oh yeah, and I thought USC was the best team in 2005 because of their offense. I think UF is the best team in the country in 2009 because of their defense. Let’s hope I’m wrong again.
Hook ’em!
