Re: [gatortalk] Moving up in the polls

One game at a time, Helen.  LSU didn't look that impressive against totally unimpressive Auburn last night, and we have two weeks to prepare. 

 

I've never seen a young team improve more, week-to-week, than our Gators.  They have time to get well, rested and coached up.  After LSU, we have a breater of a road game at Oliver's place, so the pacing looks pretty good in the schedule.

 

I'm hopeful.  Go Gators!

It's nice that the Gators have moved up in the polls, but somehow it isn't very comforting to know that 4 of the top 6 teams are still on our schedule.

NEW YORK (AP)

 Oregon has slipped past LSU to No. 2 in The Associated Press Top 25 behind Alabama after the Ducks rolled to a victory and the Tigers struggled to remain unbeaten.
