How are we above florida
If you look at the season overall, I think you could argue LSU had a better year (even though they lost the head to head matchup)
LSU's best win was a 20 point victory over a UGA team that crushed Florida. Florida's best win was an 8 point victory over LSU. Florida dominated the 8th ranked team in the bowl game. LSU beat the 7th ranked team in their bowl game with essentially their 2nd team defense.
Each team's losses are probably the separating factor. UF lost at home by 11 to a good UK team and by 21 to a very average Missouri team. LSU got dominated at home by Bama (who UF didn't play) and lost a crazy heartbreaker at A&M.
If you subjectively put UF ahead of LSU I think most would agree with that choice. However, there are reasons to put LSU ahead of UF based on the total body of work.
