Please explain this. Florida lost their division fairly early on against Georgia and had no shot at the BCSNCG. None. Georgia had nothing but cream puffs after the 10/27 game against Florida so Florida knew that it was Sugar Bowl at best. This is nothing but an excuse. Even after the Alabama loss on 11/10 it was clear that Alabama would be a 1 loss SEC West champion so at worst Florida knew nearly 2 months before their bowl game that they had no shot.

Did you watch the game? It was pretty clear to me that Florida didn't give a frick and Louisville gave all the fricks.

I don't remember all the scenarios but it was possible for UF to make it. And also they finished so strong the thought for a lot of people was that UF and Bama were the two best teams and should be playing each other in the NC. I'm not saying I thought that, but I bet UF did
