The florida gators will be the third best team in the state of florida. I dont know how many of you watched, but the Hurricanes were much faster more physical than the gators. The seminoles weight training program is supposedly now back on track.....Get ready boys, The state of florida is coming......and the gators will be third. And a Damn good third.

Nope. Miami will underachieve and become the Miami of old off the field.

9 pro bowlers last year alone... 35 active starters I believe in the league...... both lead active college teams. At one point they were winning national titles once in four years. Anybody who watched that game vs florida saw the death of the spread in the face. Florida was not nearly as physical or as fast. Just more experienced.

at one time they were the 3rd best team anyway. FSU and Miami just fell off the map there for a while with poor recruiting classes. According to Rivals (I know that star ratings don't always work, but here goes) here is where the teams ranked in national recruiting: 2003 - FSU #21, Miami #5 2004 - FSU #3, Miami #4 2005 - FSU #2, Miami #7 2006 - FSU #3, Miami #14 As you can see, it's not necessarily the recruiting of talent. But I'd say it's the recruiting of character (i.e. Fred Rouse) and the lack of coaching (Bowden is far past his prime) that have brought the programs down. Also, don't forget the reason for USF's recent success (lower academic standards). As they become more successful, more kids will go there.

Talk to me when either are in the national title picture. Until then they are just a couple of also rans.
