Is Florida overrated?

28 days until kickoff...and Tim Tebow ate concrete for breakfast and then wrote a novel before lunch.

GAINESVILLE -- Florida is ranked No.3 in the first release of the USA Today Top 25 coaches' poll. I guess it's customary to rank the defending national champ among next year's best, but a Top 5 preseason ranking for a team that lost so many starters seems a bit questionable. The biggest question of the first coaches' poll, however, has nothing to do with Florida. This is what I want to know. Who the heck voted for Duke?

Spurrier has given a No. 25 vote to Duke each of the past 15 years or so. He always stops voting for them after their first loss, which considering they're on a 20-game losing streak, will be week 1.

The Gators should be at #1. But with all the Gator Haters oput there 3 is pretty good.
The Gator Nation is in for a treat when Tim Tebow takes the field. He will be the most exciting player in college football. The Gators will be in the hunt for a consecutive nat'l championship. Dont worry about defense they will be amazing. Folks this is and will be a very well coached team. Urban Meyer is simply the best coach in college football. Good Luck Gators!
