They have a tough road, though, playing all the traditionally good teams in conference with 2 on the road at Georgia Southern and at Arkansas State.

I don’t think someone who played in the championship game last year qualifies as a sleeper.

Based on the OP article, UL isn't a top 10 G5 team. Perhaps not a sleeper in our conference, but they are my pick for a top G5 team sleeper. They are ranked 104 in the Orlando Sentinel. I think they will be a top 50 team at the end of the year.

My point was why is a win vs a 4-8 P5 team better than a win vs a top 25 conference member? If the answer is because Walmart SEC fans remember it, we clearly value different aspects of winning football games.

As we have said multiple times, it's because it did more for the brand and the national recognition of our program. The win against Appy was two teams that are 20 year rivals, that are in the same conference, that play every year, and it was seen by a couple hundred thousand people on TV. It was forgotten the next day by anyone that is not a Sun Belt fan.

The win against UF was an FCS team beating an SEC team that has had multiple national championships and multiple Heisman Trophy winners and is still talked about and brought up 5 years later.

No one has said they were the best team we have ever beaten. But it did much more for our program than ever beating Appy will do.

Haven't heard any one bring up the UF game other than Georgia Southern and UGA fans (probably one in the same).

Oh, well that must mean it never happened then!

I've brought it up several times. Great win.

Same with your Nebraska win, which apparently shouldn't mean anything because of their record. They were 4-8 also, so....

At least Nebraska didn't try to block each other.

Didn't Florida score on that play anyway, even with two of their guys blocking each other?
