yeah but they still have a small chance. Oregon still has two tough games left... and if they lose both (especially if they lose by a lot) then they'll be knocked down and flroda would move up to 15. Florida would also have to hope that there aren't any upsets in the next two weeks so that no one can jump them.

Some exciting match ups there. If there were no upsets, the second round games look even better.

Michigan vs Sonoma
Chapman vs CSU
Duluth vs ASU
BYU vs Simon Fraser

I don't even thing Oregon needs to lose to BYU and SFU by a lot to drop out of the NC.

How can you send a team to the NC who proved with in the last two weeks of the season that they couldn't beat top competition?

Is Oregon in if they beat BYU and then lose to SFU?

The only win Oregon has against anyone flirting with any ranking whatsoever was over CU. The only reason they are even in this discussion is because they were over-ranked at #5 in the preseason poll based on their performance last year. The only way they should go to the NC is if they win out, including their conference tourney.

Now everyone put on your coaches hat, and pretend you are the head coach at Florida.

What do you do with your team?? Continue practicing?? Week off, and wait out the polls??

Practice, but make it fun in the instance that it isn't possible for nationals. That way if there is no chance at nationals...the guys won't go out sour. And if you do go to nationals...you got some practice in.

I agree. It's tough though because the Florida schools are finished. I think Friday is the last possible day for finals. I think UF and FSU should play each other again next week to stay fresh for Nationals. :)

Yes...especially if FSU is still going to play BYU in the first round. Maybe they could do a home and home series to stay "fresh!" :wink:
