So here, I'm gonna go ahead and talk about my predictions with a little shameless self-backpatting.
1. Appleby wasn't terrible, nor was our offense.
2. Muschamp is Muschamp, like I've been saying.
3. Michigan, a barometer that so many people have used to judge McElwain just lost to a team that's 6 - 4 and who had lost to an FCS. Michigan, known for its AMAZING OMGWTFBBQ offensive prowess had 200 yards total to a team who gave up to Penn State 600 yards.
Fourth and most important:
We have 3 Away games (2 Neutral sites) next year due to our extra home game. It's great to be a Gator.

Fluke loss. And plus, they lost to a last second field goal. The didn't lose by double digits like we did to tenn and Arky.

Iowa lost to an FCS.
It's one thing to lose on a home game against a team like Arkansas.
It's a whole other thing to lose to a team like Iowa, who is lucky to be bowling.
200 yards of offense to supposedly one of the best coaches in the country?
McElwain has not lost to a team that he shouldn't have lost to.
Ark will finish 8 - 4.
Tennessee will likely finish 9 - 3.
LSU will likely finish 8 - 3.
LSU last year finished 11 - 3.
Alabama last year finished 14 - 1.
FSU went 10 - 3.
Michigan went 10 - 3.
I mean, we were supposed to lose four games this year, but we're set up really well next year. This was always a rebuilding year, we didn't know who our quarterback was, offensive line has 4 underclassmen, best receivers are underclassmen.
Next year? No excuses. McElwain needs to have his shite in order. But all of those teams were really good, it's not like he's losing to scrubs and badly like putting up 200 yards on Iowa.
An FCS got 363 against that defense.

Teams NDSU has beaten the last few years:
They're 9-3 against FBS schools with wins over
#13 Iowa
K-State
CSU 1-0 against Mac
Kansas
Iowa St
Minnesota twice
And have a 6 game win streak over fbs. This isn't a 2013 GSU type school. They're the Bama of the fcs

Dude, none of that is an excuse.
Less scholarships, less talent, less resources, less materials.
Of those teams, they hadn't beaten anyone worth mentioning. Iowa is now 6 - 4.
I'm sorry, but if you think it's comparable you're back to ''crazy'' status. 200 yards???
200 yards???
There's a difference.
He inherited a pretty good offense, maybe even great regarding experience. McElwain inherited an absolute mess, had to rehaul everything and is doing well with what he has.
One real quarterback in his first year, no offensive line, no kicker and still won the East.
This year, one real quarterback, offensive line looking better every game and he finally has a kicker. If we lose the East to Tennessee, that's okay.
Next year, you'll see. Just like you saw this week.

They game doesn't mean anything to Michigan . If they win out they will be in the playoff while we may not some luck to be in the playoff if we win out. In case you forgot we played Michigan in a bowl game. I would take Harbaugh over Mac right now in a heart beat. Mac took over a better team.
