Do you really think that Florida is that much worse than they were last season? How do they not warrant a top 2 ranking?



Because they aren’t one of the top 2 teams in the country. They lose all their key players. Only a Florida homer wouldn’t realize this. USC’s better than you, LSU’s better than you. End of story.

Every team has top recruits that competes for the NC. You act as if your recruits are any different than other teams, and that all of them can just come in here and replace guys who were first round draft picks and All-SEC caliber players. They can’t. They are still inexperienced and will be facing SEC competition for the first time.

Every single key contributor to last year’s NC team is gone. You don’t have any returning starters at any offensive skill position. 5 All-SEC first teamers, gone. Only 2 defensive starters are back. 6 All-SEC second teamers, gone. You didn’t lose backups, you lost starters who were key contributors to your team’s success.

It’s a whole different Florida team that will be on the field this year, I respect the NC team, but this team isn’t the NC team. It would be foolish to blindly predict success for this group of Gators because last year’s team was good. That theory is wrong on so many levels.
