You could make a strong argument that week 8 was the worst week of the season for Florida’s FBS teams.
Highlighted by Miami’s 28-21 loss to Georgia Tech as nearly as a three-touchdown favorite, all of the state’s FBS teams underachieved in some manner last weekend.
- Miami, Florida State and Florida Atlantic all lost games as favorites.
- South Florida lost a conference game by 32 points and did not score a touchdown.
- Florida needed one of its best fourth quarters of the season to come-from-behind to beat South Carolina.
- Neither UCF nor FIU came close to covering the spread in their wins against overmatched teams.
