It is not baffling at all, we beat KY even when they have the better team, FL beats us even when we have the better team. It is just the way it is, FL lives "rent free" in our players heads. We did not have a more talented "team" than FL this year, they clearly have more, but next year is a different story.
Next year may or should be a different story. It won't be until we do something about it.
