UF has more talent top to bottom based off recruiting classes over a 4-5 year period and throwing in attrition. Our offense is better based on the 2 deeps but they have us beat in defensive talent.
Call came down from the League to the refs. Florida cannot be allowed to lose, they can't have an unranked in the SEC Championship game...would hurt the league's playoff chances! Apparently they also bribed the Vandy punter with promises of better grades so he'd shank that last punt.
The only other explanation is that despite LSU beating them, Florida continues to be the luckiest team in football, at any level, on the planet. They really do suck.
