They always finish the season strong. Their soft opponents are always lined up at the end (including us)

They win some games.

Get preseason hype.

Lose the relevant games early

44-44 since Fulmer.

Repeat.

Pretty much. Last year, in their 5 game winning streak to end the regular season, they beat:

5-7 UK
3-9 USCe
1-11 North Texas
5-7 Missouri
4-8 Vandy

Regardless, they handled their business and won the games they were supposed to. I do think they are somewhat overrated with regard to their ranking. I'd like to see them prove they can beat a top team before ranking them in the top 10.

Should definitely be another great UF/UT game this year.
