Utah was a very young team and almost everyone comes back.

UF was a pretty bad team with awful management and while a lot of the team returns, not nearly as much as Utah. Not to mention the hump of a new coach in his first game.

Having spent my four years in Gainesville I will admit the heat absolutely sucks but it's not the gamechanger a lot of southerners think it is. Game is at, what, 7 p.m.? It'll be humid but not especially hot. They get Gatorade on their side, too.

I expect UF to lose to Utah by 7-10, but beat Kentucky. UT is more of a toss-up to me this year. A good coach can pull a team together after a loss to a big team, as Urban Meyer did after Bama shellacked the Gators in 2005.
