That's what I don't get. I hate Alabama, I hate OSU, I hate ND. However, I absolutely agree that those teams are in the upper tier right now. I don't understand people like Feldman saying UF should be top 10 when you look at what they have and don't have. O-line....not only is it inexperienced, it is comprised of low level recruits...and has no depth. RB....solid, but not even close to elite. Our RB unit is better than theirs. WR....good, but nothing special. Similar to ours. QB...yes, he's experienced. However, unless he shows a significant jump this year, he was mediocre to downright bad against the better defenses, and barely able to perform when pressured. Defensive line? With the departure of the players who left for the draft, plus the injuries and suspensions, they are extremely thin, inexperienced, and other than Zuniga no one stands out as a great player. Linebackers? Average. Secondary? Great talent at CB, but little depth, and mediocre talent and no depth at safety.
Not saying we should be highly ranked, or ranked at all at this point. We've proven nothing. But based on their play last year, and what they have this year, I see nothing about Florida that points to a top 10 team, unless there is significant development of a lot of players (which is quite possible, but why assume it will happen and rank them highly before it actually happens?).
