My predictions for Florida are almost always wrong

I just got a laugh looking back at my predictions the last few years...
2010 - I guessed 10-2, they went 7-5 (-3)
2011 - I guessed 9-3, they went 6-6 (-3)
2012 - I guessed 8-4, they went 11-1 (+3)
2013 - I guessed 10-2, they went 4-8 (-6)
In the last 4 years, I haven't predicted within 3 games of what Florida actually finished. I just haven't had a good read on the team recently. I'm scared. because I predicted 9-3 this year. So that means they are going to be 12-0, or 6-6 or worse. With 6-6 being more likely since I tend to overestimate the team's abilities.
How have the rest of you done?

I had 8-4 in 2012, and 10-2 last season 
I'm gonna say 10-2 this year because thats what I believe last year's team could have done fully healthy.

I'm always wrong, so I never guess and I never bet. The opposite always happens, even if I pick the opposite of what I think to try and outsmart myself. I'm just always wrong

I'm terrible at this too. I don't like casinos. Lady Luck and I have never met.
I just want offensive pain for our opponents. Make the scoreboard sound like a 1980s pinball machine for the good guys.

Using this site:
-2012: 8-4, we went 11-1
2013: 10-2, went 4-8
It's too bad Dukke V doesn't post on sec rant. I hope he says Florida shits the bed and fires Muschamp. Then, in reality, we going to the ship

I never really guessed specifically but generally. I personally thought we were going to have a very good season last year.

I thought last yr would be rocky because I didn't like Pease' offense and UF lost a lot of leadership on D. Didn't foresee the 4 wins, but thought 8 would be about right.

I thought we'd do better (especially on offense) because we finally got some meat in the backfield. I was waiting to have a solid running game that could open it up for Driskel, apparently that wasn't in the cards.

12-0 sounds right to me. And I'm serious.

Always wrong, except for 2007.
I didn't expect them to be that good in 2012 or that bad in 2013. People are saying good things about the team this offseason. I'm trying to resist buying in on 'Revenge Tour 2014', trying to guard my heart after last year
