UF's QB Will Grier suspended for season after positive PED test

Clemson has a Top 5 offense and a Top 5 defense.  They clearly have a better team than FSU this year, and likely are the best in the country.

Way to prop up your loss.  Clemson was the weakest looking garbage "#1" I have ever seen.  They will get DESTROYED by OSU, Bama, Baylor, LSU, and could even lose to the Gators. ACC is such a joke.

Ummmmm have you watched college football at all this season?

No

"Flagship" looking more like a dinghy today, RG.

True. I was on "In-law" duty with the wife up in Carolina last weekend (the rains have loosed some incredible mosquitoes and other vermin in the Lowcountry -- monster swarms that had to be seen to be believed); couldn't watch the game & only heard some of the early game on my phone. Sounded like we should have been winning 21 or 24 to zip in the 2nd quarter when I had to stop listening (it was 6-zip at the time). I almost had a heart attack when I saw it was 7-6 in the 4th quarter.

Don't want to see it, don't want to read about it. We got the W and are SEC East Champions. That's all that matters to me.

As for the Noles and Clemson -- that "other" Carolina may just beat Clemson in the ACC title game and the Wolfpack may get FSU before then. It's a crazy year. But from what I saw, Bama looked damn good and is clearly number one in my book until proven otherwise -- which is exactly what will happen when we take them down at the GatorDome up in Atlanta.

Come on Big Orange and Blue !!!

Hard to believe BAMA lost to Ole Miss.  Which demonstrates sometimes the best team does not win. No one who knows anything about college football would say Ole Miss is better than BAMA, but they won on that night. It's why we play the games............................

Complete ass whipping in front of a record home crowd. Total domination. All the Gator BS in this link was a mountian of horse manure.

The ACC pretty much beat down the SEC this weekend, with the exception of Georgia Tech.

Let the excuses begin................................

[ProjectMaximus]

No excuses from me. Gators have no offense. Noles were the far better team.

I don't think Clemson or Louisville's wins qualified as beat downs.

I believe the word RattlerGator used a few weeks ago was EPIC.  I questioned it, as the signs of offensive ineptitude were there then.  I have now seen live the "flagship" lose to their "baby sister" 11 times in 18 games (and some view the 1994 tie as a loss for UF), including 4 out of 6 in Gainesville since 1995.  And the current streak is 5 out of 6, and 3 straight in the swamp.

As for ACC-SEC rivalry weekend, the combined record is 7-1 over the past two years.

Any thoughts RG?

It's not considered the flagship university because of its football programme (which is probably a good thing).

Call it what you want but the Florida State Seminoles bet the Florida Gators 27 - 2 in Gainesville Florida. FSU! FSU!

UF and FSU are recognized as co-flagship universities in the state.

Sure they are.

But in order to avoid confusion, I shall re-word my comment as follows:

FSU has the better football programme. But UF is consistently ranked as the best university in the State by pretty much every organisation that ranks universities (though UM runs it pretty close).

There is no "flagship" status in Florida. It's a booster term that doesn't mean anything in the type of university system we have, where each university is essentially independent. Boosters in the state legislature periodically try to push through "flagship" status either for UF, or for both UF and FSU, but it has never come to anything. They did come up with a "research flagship" status, but it's limited to the area of research only, is judged by objective research benchmarks, and includes USF as well as UF and Florida State.

The "flagship" debate is really just another school rivalry point between these two schools, similar to their repeated attempts to be recognized as the "oldest" schools based dates that are essentially false.

I believe the College Board recognises UF as the State's flagship. Whether or not that means anything is anyone's guess.

UF best university in the State of Denial is more like it. Why is it after the Gator football team loses. Gator Fans have to beat their chests telling everyone that they feel UF is the better team. I know of a man that wanted to go to the UF of Florida after he got out of UNF. But Florida wouldn't take him because he was home schooled. So he went to Georgia Tech and next month or first of the new year 2016 will get his PhD in Mechanical Engineering/Nanotechnology. Way to go University of Florida! Dumb asses.
