Michigan has a very good D coordinator, but no amount of superb coaching can completely hide the losses of like 80% of starters leaving.

We also still have glaring Oline and QB issues.

I hope I am wrong, but I see the gators beating my wolverines.

Michigan's oline got shredded by an FSU defense last year that was not nearly as elite and talented as this year's florida defense.

I believe this too, although we have historically sucked against Michigan teams in bowls.

After doing more research this past week, i think Michigan's front 7 is going to be super athletic and disruptive, but maybe inconsistent. UF's OL still isn't blowing anyone away, but I call that even money.

On the flip side, UF's front 7, especially their starting front 4, should shred the Michigan OL.

Also, UF's special teams should be far and away better than Michigan's.

Honestly, the only advantage Michigan has upon further inspection is on paper with recruiting rankings and not by much, and maybe a little bit at QB because of experience, but that guy isn't scaring anyone.

I though UF's secondary was inexperienced. Holy crap, Michigan's is hopelessly out matched against UF's WR's.

On the flip side, UF is experienced on the back end, so as long as they don't make mistakes, they will make an inexperienced Michigan offense chip away at them underneath.

The more I look at this game, the more I think Florida is the better team.

Unless the QB issues continue, and in that case it'll be VERY CLOSE.
