No one should pick '12 Florida in this one.  They won games by the skin of their teeth, including a freak punt-block TD on the last play of the game to beat La-Lafayette.  If they had to play any very strong team from yesteryear, they'd lose.  They wouldn't give up a bunch of points, but they'd lose.
