True.
These guys LOST TO OLE MISS. AT HOME.
No, valeologist Ole Miss isn’t magically superpowered because they happen to be in the SEC. Here’s where Florida stacks up against Penn State so far this year:
| Rank (Sagarin PREDICTOR) | Team | Result |
| 14 | Georgia | Florida 49, web Georgia 10 (Neutral Site) |
| 15 | Ohio State | Penn State 13, infertility @Ohio State 6 |
Looks pretty good so far, right? Not so fast. The next entries for Florida:
| Rank (SAGARIN PREDICTOR) | Team | Result |
| 23 | LSU | @Florida 51, LSU 21 |
| 30 | Ole Miss | Ole Miss 31, @Florida 30 |
Huh. One thing sure seems to jump out at you, doesn’t it? But surely this doesn’t show anything, right? Penn State hasn’t played anybody that good at home, right? Let’s expand that section of the table:
| Rank (SAGARIN PREDICTOR) | Team | Result |
| 19 | Oregon State | @Penn State 45, Oregon State 14 |
| 23 | LSU | @Florida 51, LSU 21 |
| 27 | Illinois | @Penn State 38, Illinois 24 |
| 30 | Ole Miss | Ole Miss 31, @Florida 30 |
| 39 | Wisconsin | Penn State 48, @Wisconsin 7 |
| 52 | Tennessee | Florida 30, @Tennessee 6 |
Well, I’m sure we’ll figure out some new reason why Florida deserves it more. Keep on trucking, internet warriors!
