I really didn't want to bring this up again, but I was in Indy for the games. Hindsight tells us all that the Gators distanced themselves from the other participants, whereas many thought GMU could have proved that they didn't belong. Props to Florida.
The most competitive half of the weekend was the first half of the GMU game. I'd bet that the game would have changed a little if Mason had gotten a lead just before the end of the half (and they had their opportunities to do so!). Confidence would have skyrocketed and the entire dome (aside from Gator fans) would have been drawn in even more. Oh well.
