Okay, three points
#1 Sappho and my 60+ point margins would seem to assume that:
- - A. Florida's coming year's team will be better than last year's Georgia's team
AND
- - B. Hawaii's coming year's team will be worse than last year's.
While (B) will most likely be true; I cannot see Florida being better than Georgia last year nor this coming year. So, I really thinking that as likely as a 60+ point spread tis point #2.
#2 My 38-17 scenario assumed that ALL things FALL Hawaii's way; and I was thinking in terms of a Vegas line . . . somehow I do not see Vegas giving anything near 60+ points; I'd probably bet that one!
#3. Given the suggestion that Florida MIGHT sub down to the third level; I agree, and here's a twisted scenario...
...at half-time, the score is 35-6 (5 TDs for the Gators, two FGs for Hawaii) and Florida has had the second string in for the last 7 minutes of the second quarter...FIRST game of the season against a weaker opponent...good time to see how deep the Gators really are.
Second half, somehow, here we go again, Florida opens with another drive and ooops, there's a FG instead of a TD...but still, it's time for those THIRD stringers we mentioned.
And then what happens; those pesky Polynesians manage to finally get a solid drive together and score a TD and a two-point conversion...no, not MORE troubles for Florida; by the way, the football gods took a nasty swipe at Florida very early in the game; Tebow broke his ankle in the first quarter...and now those meddlin' mischief makers are really gonna throw a rotten quarter at the Gators!
Next day's headlines: Wow, imagine that, Florida wins their opener 38-17 against a BCS bowl team from last year; good game Gators. Here's hopin' that ankle really isn't badly broken.
So, yes there is a way; sure as heck ain't likely. Don't expect to see it.
But, no way???
