Who has Florida beaten of any moment outside of its own crappy conference? Who has USC beaten outside it's own crappy conference except a team from the crappy Big Ten?

I never said that I don't want them to be in the best bowl possible playing the best team possible. I just said that I don't like my chances as much that way and that it makes me a lot more nervous.
And Seattle, you are seriously crazy if you think that this 2008 team is as good as that 2004 team. I like the 2008 team's defense and tenacity...but that 2004 team was one for the ages.
