re: Lack of Respect for the Gators

Maybe the team is using it for motivation.

I'm not sure.

But I pretty much guarantee they are going to be much better than they were last year at the end of the year.

Anyone that thinks they will be just as bad or worse is just ignorant.

You return "meh"... And you're a clusterfrick at QB.

You're lucky to be ranked.

What part of I don't give a flying Fck about preseason polls did you miss? I think that was the OP's question.

By the way our QB situation will be much improved. Last year was a clusterfrick after Grier was suspended.

We'll use this years win in Knoxville as a springboard up the polls

Thanks in advance Vols!

Yeah, a name everyone will know very soon at LB is Alex Anzalone. The guy is finally healthy.

The defense also has a ton of DL depth, and future NFL players in Cece Jefferson and Caleb Brantley, not to mention at least 2 to 3 guys in the secondary and Davis at LB.

The idea that UF is somehow going to be really bad on defense is hilarious.

Oh and UF has a kicker now. People forget that too.

The world doesn't revolve around UGA and especially UT.

Plenty of guys on the roster still pissed about the screw job we got in Gainesville two years ago. Looking forward to watching UK derailing the McElwain train and ending the streak finally. Y'all barely squeezed by last year 14-9. Cats fittin'a eat.

We either barely squeak by Kentucky or blow them out.

The Wildcats are not the perennial doormat they once were

The lack of knowledge about Florida's roster among posters on this board and national media members is astounding.

Florida got the #1 JUCO RB in the country- 6'3 238 lb Mark Thompson.

Florida's kicking game will be leaps and bounds better with the addition of the #1 JUCO Kicker in the country

Florida added 4 4 star or better wide receivers, including the #2 wide receiver in the country Tyrie Cleveland.

Florida returns all American Jalen Tabor and Quincy Wilson, both of whom have several interceptions and are considered one of the best DB duos in the country. As well as first team all American last year Marcus Maye.

Florida returns the best linebacker in the SEC Jarrad Davis plus Alex Anzalone.

Floridas defensive line includes Caleb Brantley, one of the best DTs in the country and CeCe Jefferson, a future first round draft pick.

The Gators offensive line held their own for much of the season despite starting 3 true freshman and one sophomore. The Gators have depth and talent and experience along the OL, which will lead to marginal improvement at the worst.


The Gators will be improved at every position on the offensive side of the ball and will maintain an elite level on defense. People who don't know anything about Floridas roster need to take a second look. This team gets no respect, but they will be much better than a lot of people think.

I wasn't saying your RBs won't be talented. I was just surprised that they're predicted to be your best RB combo in 10 years. That seems a little bold considering your team's history, along with the production of these RBs at the college level so far. Not saying they won't be great, I just think it's a little early to say that.

UF's kicking game can't be worse, and getting Piniero was massive.

I don't think anyone thinks your DBs won't be great.

Your defense could still be elite, but you can't deny you lost a lot of talent on that side of the ball.

Offense should be better, but Cronkrite hasn't really proved squat so far, and neither has Del Rio. I think McElwain is a great offensive coach, and I expect that side of the ball to be improved for sure, just that a lot of it is unknown IMO.
