Utah wins close one Cam Rising is a great qb and they run and play defense . Florida will have to play a great game to win .

I don’t know where you’ve been but the SEC finished 5-6 in bowls last year. Utah is simply a better team all around

I'm not going to say handle...But it's a winnable game.

I have Utah in the CFP. Utes by double digits.

Shouldn't a better team all around be favored by more than 3 against unranked competition?

Honestly, while I don't think Utah is a powerhouse... I don't see any reason to think UF will be very good this year.

They have a QB who didn't play that well last year, one difference maker on defense and a bunch of transfers from ULL who will be starting at UF... which I don't see as a good thing.

I think Utah wins by 3+ scores... not because Utah is great but rather because I view UF as a Missouri level program in the SEC right now, not as a Tennessee or UK level which many others put them at.



UF lost 4 games last year with the MOD 7 points or less:

Alabama 31 Florida 29
Kentucky 20 Florida 13
LSU 49 Florida 42
Missouri 24 Florida 23

With a team that completely lacked discipline and with a QB situation that turned into a circus due to Mullen's decisions.

Sure I don't think UF wins 10 games this year, but that is how slim the margin was last year from UF being a 10 win team.

spreads are always smaller in season openers because it’s tough to tell how a team will end up.

But at this point there’s no reasonable argument you can make or metric you can point out for why Utah is not better other than “muh SEC”

I don't subscribe to the diddlydog power rankings.

yeah you clearly don’t subscribe to any type of power rankings or efficiency stats. You won’t be able to find one that says UF is better.

UF beating Utah because muh non SEC team is such a tired take. Utes by 17.


I'll call you out after the game, hopefully you'll have enough sack to eat crow. You probably won't.

Utah’s defense is legit. They had the second best pass rusher last season. Not sure if he’s still there or not.

They are not supremely talented, but they are an experienced team that is used to winning and plays fricking hard.

They’ll give Florida all they want. If Florida wins it’s something to be proud of

Let me introduce you to the power index, which currently has Florida over Utah.

But beyond that, you'll be pretty surprised Saturday if anything.

The same one that said 11-2 Bama was better than 15-0 LSU at the end of 2019?

Nice

It's not my fault even computers like Bama as much as Danielson does.

Give me the Utes in a hard fought 31-21 win, where they score a touchdown in the final minutes to make a close game look like it wasn’t as close as it was.
