Gators = best defense in SEC ?

[Mr2Bits]

If I've got this right, the Gators have only allowed 93 points so far this season, 80 of which have come from SEC teams. Based on what you've seen so far from the team, do you think they're the best defense in the SEC... how does the Gator defense compare to other Top 5 teams?

This will probably prove to be of more importance don't you think?

I think our D belongs in the Top 10 in the nation. I think we are a little behind Penn State and Alabama, but much better then the rest of the top 5.

GO GATORS

I have to disagree about us being better than the rest of the top 5 defenses. USC, TCU, Alabama are absolutely dominant on d. Penn St. and Florida St. have played weaker teams, which has allowed their defense to shine.

Harvey has made a very convincing argument in his article and I would have to agree with his summation of how this statistic verifies a very improved defense for the Gators.......
Here is the Stat that he bases it all on.
