So, I thought the Gaytors were going to take a step back, but...

if he doesn't, then you still expect 8-4 as the floor? I see 5 wins as the real floor. The games below are brutal

@ LSU
@ Miami
vs Texas
@ Texas A&M

I agree as a whole but Kentucky is terrible and Tennessee is gonna take a step back. I have them as a 7 win team

As a friend, I'd encourage you to take a step back and look at the way you're being perceived here. I understand that might not be easy because it's hard to see the forest for the trees but ask yourself how your argument would differ from a hardcore Gator fan's. A smart person once told me that if you're in an argument and having to defend and explain, you're not going to get your point across.

It's best to just walk away.

Truth.

He thinks that we are "defending the ACC" when we point out how the sytem is annually and progressively tipped more and more in favor of the SEC and Big 10.

If a 12-game regular season proves that 10 or 12 P2 schools deserve to be ranked, fine. But it's bull**** to do it in the pre-season off of projection and guesstimation and bias and prejudice. When no games have been played. And the bogus pre-season poll dictates all the "quality wins" and, even worse, the "quality losses".

...I've been reading about the Gates the last couple of days that they are better than I thought they would be this season. I thought they lost a lot and their QB seemed OK, but not special. But, I'm guessing.

For you experts out there, how good will they be this year and how do they line up against us?

What freshmen are we “relying” on this year??

I'm not sure about "reliance", but there's certainly a lot of hype on Dallas Wilson, Vernell Brown, Ben Hanks, Drake Stubbs, and Lagonza Hayward. And you have a number of freshmen in the 2-deep.

Whether they see a lot of playing time is To Be Determined.

True. At WR is where you will see some freshmen and thats it offensively. Maybe Jones if/when he wins the back up job at QB.

Defensively, Woods at DE but he’s 3rd string when McCray is back.

Secondary you’ll see Hanks and Stubbs as back ups and maybe Hayward too.

Just glad we don’t need any freshmen along the OL and DL to be forced to contribute. Finally got some depth there

I’ll keep it short. I’m kinda more 9-3ish with L’s to LSU, Texas, and whoever you wanna say the 3rd loss it between Miami/UGA/Ole Miss.

It's a timing issue. If you're already expecting losses to LSU and Texas, your prediction (and Napier's tenure at UF) comes down to the game against us. You'd be sitting at 2-3 if you lose. UF can still reach 9 wins, but Napier would have to win out.

If UF hasn't already made the call, he'd be coaching for his job on the road against A&M.

A&M is winnable, but do you think Napier would beat them in that scenario?

Do you think Napier can win out if he loses to Miami, LSU and Texas?

Elephant in the room, do you think UF beats Miami?

It absolutely is. It is saying that the SEC is soooooooooooo good that Florida is automatically more equal to Pitt and K-State and UNC and 7 other ACC schools BY THREE GAMES. Not because of the inherent goodness of the team itself (Florida), but they are ALREADY more deserving because of their conference.

I've never said it is INTRINSIC "better". I'm saying it is RANKING "better", right off the bat. False myths are created, and then they are validated. Quite literally, that chart says it would be a tossup on whether to give the 12th spot in the playoffs to an 11-win Pitt or an 8-win Vanderbilt. That is how Vandy is "3 games better than" Pitt. Not because of what might happen on the field. But because that chart indicates that an 11-win Pitt and an 8-win Vanderbilt are at the same level in the conversation. They have been equated. They are comparable.

And it's bull****.

Wow since Vegas has your over/under at 7.5 you should kill it. Unless. You don’t know what floor means.
