text: Let's try to answer this by looking at the respective schedules of the two teams in question. I agree Florida deserves to be among the best teams in US college football, but you're right. USC has already beaten five teams that were ranked in the top 25 at some point during the season, (Arkansas wasn't currently ranked when\nUSC played them). Florida has beaten three teams that were ranked during the season, lost to one, and is scheduled to play another. They beat FSU, which is having an offseason by their standards by 7 points. USC clobbered Arkansas in contrast. I don't know what will happen in the SEC championship game.\nLSU beat Arkansas, and Florida beat LSU during the season.\nI think Florida has to be considered the favorite for that reason alone. legalissues needs to be reminded, the SEC went 3-3\nlast season during the bowl season, which is hardly domination.\nhttp://www.collegefootballpoll.com/2005_archive_bowls.html \nThe Pac-10 went 2-2 last season during the bowl season, so that \nproves both conferences hold their own, but are hardly dominant,\nbut merely average.
