LSU coach disputes UF a bubble team
LSU coach Trent Johnson, talking to media on Wednesday at the SEC Tournament in Nashville, thinks Florida shouldn't be called a bubble team, that the Gators should be in the NCAA Tournament already.
"My goodness, I think Florida _ Billy (Donovan) gets punished for winning two national championships back to back, but he's won 20 games three years in a row. Why are we talking about them as a bubble?''
Most forecasters feel UF needs to win one, maybe two games, in the SEC tourney that starts Thursday. The Gators play Auburn at 7:30 p.m. Ironically, the Tigers knocked Florida, the 2006 and 2007 national champions, out of an NCAA bid last year by beating Gators in the SEC Tournament in Tampa.

If they're not a bubble team they're the 65th seed.
That5 bubble has already burst.
Florida is the 4th best team in the SEC. So either Florida gets in or the SEC should only get 3 teams.
