The LSU Tigers remained the unanimous No. 1 team on Sunday when the latest BCS, USA Today and Associated Press Top 25 polls were released. The Florida Gators (5-4, 3-4 SEC), fresh off their first victory in more than a month, did not receive a single vote. All of Florida’s losses this season have been to ranked opponents, and the Gators avoided their fifth consecutive defeat on Saturday with a 26-21 win.

Well if we want to look at this with a positive spin we lost all 4 games to teams in the top 25 and 3 of the 4 in the top 15. (AND 2 of them the two best teams in the country). Now on the bad side, we play yet another top 15 this week. Could this be the one we win?
