And Florida got spanked by Louisville. Does that mean Louisville has superior talent *across the board* ? My point is, winning games does not mean that all 22 are better as your "8 in a row" suggests -- Elam *must* be the best because of the rest of the conference winning championships. That one statement right there is EXACTLY "the hype machine" they were referring to.

In any event, my point in MY observation is I went into the game looking for him to do something and Teddy Bridgewater tore their secondary apart - and Elam blew an assignment or two. Again, one game does not mean a career, but, I wasn't impressed. Just sayin'
