Florida proved that they are not invincible today against Purdue. Purdue made a few dumb mistakes late in the game to give it away. Florida should have smooth sailing now to the Final 4, but will fall to the Jayhawks for the second time this year. I can't stand Noah, by the way!

It would be absolutely no excuse for Florida to not reach the NC game

After a shaky stretch, they seem to have righted the ship. It's hard to bet against a returning national champion with all of their big guns back, but the competition is a lot stronger this year. They better bring their A game.

I don't think there is a lot of strength in their bracket other than the other 3 top ranked teams. Maryland is athletic and fairly deep, and could beat Florida on one of their better days. Oregon and Wisconsin are also quality teams, but I see the Gators getting by them as well. The team already knows it can win a National Championship with the players who are there, and they seem to be on the right track after winning the SEC Tournament.

Very talented and tournament-tough team (with everybody back to defend their title)whose only real challenge on their way to the Final Four might be Wisconsin (and ONLY if THEY survive their game with the Oregon/Notre Dame winner). Arizona and/or Maryland MIGHT give them a game, along the way, but they look like a pretty sure bet.
