They finished 5th in the country last year in total D, ahead of LSU (10th). Bama was tied for #1.
ok my bad, UF had a better defense than LSU. I guess I was just going by LSU's performance against Bama vs UF's against Bama, but did not look at the season overall.

They are preseason figures meaning he and everyone know they are prone to estimation and input differences once the season begins.
The system is truly created to take real season data and input it. So, this is a fun guess, but until games start it's just an educated guess.

That's only because LSU had one uncharacteristic bad game against A&M. Our players quit because we had such a large lead. Without that one bad game, we finish ahead of Florida.
In any event, regardless of the rankings, LSU overall had a better defense than Florida last season. In fact, LSU gained 432 yards to Florida's 289 yards on that Florida defense but fumbled the ball away 3 times inside the 10 and then Guice misunderstood the final play of the game and cut the wrong way to lose to Florida in a game we beat them all over the field. That was a fluke of fluke game.
