Found on reddit. I feel much better about going into this game after reading this. I mean I knew they weren’t as good as their record but after reading this it really sheds light onto their season last year. Overrated.
Florida is an interesting team this year. They finished 6th in the country at 10-3 with an impressive win over Michigan in the bowl. Despite that many feel that they were overrated and that the record was an indicator of a weaker schedule. They lost to UK, Mizzou and UGA, had to come back from 14+ point deficits against South Carolina at home and @Vandy. They had close wins over LSU and Miss State but their other regular season wins were over a 3-9 MWC team, a 4-7 FCS team, a 5-6 FCS team, two 5-7 teams, a 6-7 team and a 7-6 team. Then they blow out a Michigan team many thought should have been playoff bound a week before Thanksgiving. Despite that schedule they finish with an even record (or winning if you're looking at the Coaches Poll) against top 25 finishers. All this while being a younger team. They bring back a lot of talent but there's doubt about them replicating last years success. Then they've been in the news constantly throughout the offseason with injuries, suspensions, transfers and non-qualifiers. I'm really excited for the game this weekend to see what UF is.
