I feel like the addition of Oklahoma and Texas can very well keep any program in the SEC that's currently struggling down for even longer.

In short, there just isn't enough room to have too many winners. The Florida dumpster fire has been a thing of beauty to watch.

I hope Florida keeps billy forever and settles on becoming a baseball and basketball school only.

I imagine Deion Sanders would instantly bring in whoever hires him in top 5 recruiting classes yet they are scared to fire their gem of a coach to try lmfao.

I guess Florida fans are just content on losing now.

You conveniently forgot to mention Tennessee being among those who might not be coming back to prominence anytime soon.

Weird thread.

Auburn and Florida (also Tennessee) do not belong in the same sentence with programs like Texas A@M and Mississippi State.

The former have won championships.

The latter have not.

I don’t know what the frick Florida is doing.

Made some terrible hires that just has the ship buried currently.

I still can’t believe they hired Billy Napier. On top of that is the schedule they have this year and it’s gonna be another brutal year for blue and orange.

Why?

Because they have money?
Because they can recruit?
Because they can pay players?

Newsflash this already happens and they lose to Kansas and Maryland.

Texas problem is that their students and alumns are like Hollywood fans. They only watch games for the social aspects of gathering. They will leave and not show up when their teams lose or have a mediocre season.


So if they get to stack the deck in their own conference yeah. They can make hay. But that’s over.


They are gonna lose to Georgia, Florida and Michigan before they even see A&M next season. And once they can’t pump up their egos anymore it’s over.

They aren’t gonna like the reality of the SEC grind.

Explain to me why you think it will be a brutal year? I think Florida will surprise with 7 or 8 wins this year laying the building blocks for a contender in 2025.The offense has considerably more talent than the last two years.

Maybe, but one thing is for sure, we got no problem beating Tennessee no matter which dumbass is coaching our team.

A&M may be back in prominence soon. No games vs Alabama, Georgia, or Ole Miss in the next two seasons.

No need to cling onto the past. We are talking about right now!

you've already proven you're a d.a. but even moreso if you think UF will be down for long. This is Napier's last season if he doesn't turn it around. UF will eventually get the right coach and it won't take 20 years like it did the viles because UF is a much more attractive job than the UT.

tbh it’s not

It’s really not

Danny white and the Tennessee AD actually cares about winnning while UF only cares about stadium concessions and hiring loser “yes men” coaches that don’t care about using nil properly (see Jaden Rashad’s) and don’t object to building 400-500 million dollar
Stadium kitchens …

They’ll never make the “right” hire because they dont want a coach who wins

Truth be told,
Florida football is done and gone.

You really think that hiring Deon in the SEC is the best option?

I think the entire Deon, coach prime BS will flame outbid under 5 years, without ever producing anything of note. But, by all means, I'd love to watch him run an SEC program into the ground.

They play LSU, who is always better than Ole Miss. LSU will be better than Bama this year.

A lot of teams will find themselves increasingly below where they have traditionally lived in the college football pecking order. Others will let their football teams dwindle.

NIL and the portal will completely reduce the sport to the biggest booster bank accounts. I guess if that's still something to hang your hat on, watch away. In a couple of decades, college football will be a shadow of what we're used to.
