I’ll wait to see how they perform against Oklahoma before I settle on a prediction. Love the optimism though.

He has Florida winning the East and going 11-1, with only loss to UT.

That's kind of hard to figure. We are supposed to beat UGA and LSU, but lose to UT?

UGA lost to USCjr. Anything's possible.

Like UT losing to GSU.

Well sure, see App State vs. Michigan.

But the notion that we would beat both LSU and UGA but lay an egg at Tennessee just seems far fetched to me.

Well LG it could be like your posting history. You drop a diamond with a meme thread, then lay eggs every other time.

PROBABLY the way the game sets up. Between two other toughies? I know not of UF schedule.

WELL! There it IS! South Alabama will have taken the starch out of them!!

Florida will have to bring their A game to score 63 points on South Alabama

STONE COLD LOCK! Take Florida -33.

So we go 9-3 and beat Florida? Oh my f***.

We would both probably take the deal.

Oh, I am sure UF would delight in 11-1 and SECe champ, regardless of who the one loss is to. I'm just mystified at the notion that UT is better than UF, but will lose three games, whereas UF is better than two power teams of the last 5-10 years but is not better than UT.

If the analysis compared strengths and weaknesses, i.e. said UF is better except for o line worse than UT d line so thats the one game they lose, fine. But I'm not seeing that level of reasoning.

IMO this was carefully crafted to get fans of all three teams to click. UT because he says you will beat UF, UGA because he says they lose the East this year, and UF by saying they will win it.

Clicks = $

I see a lot of people making this type of prediction, but I think we have a better shot at Georgia in 2020 than Florida. While Georgia is loaded with talent, they have a lot of turnover on their starting offensive line (despite a lot of playing time amongst this year's O-linemen), a new quarterback that is highly overrated, and a wide receiver corp that was horrible last year. I believe Florida is the team to beat in the East this year.

UF is better than OU IMO by a fairly wide margin.

I agree. If we got very solid QB play, I think we would have a shot at Oklahoma since they're breaking in a new QB. Unfortunately, with the lack of spring practice, I fear that we'll be stuck with JG early in the season until he plays himself out of the starting lineup (again). JG will not be our starter by the time the Georgia game rolls around.

I think that depends on Maurer and Shrout. I think the lack of spring really puts HB in a hole. He needs live, college speed reps more than anything. But the deficiencies of Shrout and particularly Maurer can be helped in the film room and 7 on 7. The biggest need for both is to develop the mental, decision making part of the game..

IMO, Maurer got a shot only because the coaches saw his upside. Obviously among some good play... he made some really big mistakes too. It is up to him to put in the work to catch JG.

You remembered that UGA is now game 10 didn't you?

I think Tennessee can go 9-3 with average quarterback play. If they get above average to great quarterback play Tennessee can win 10-11 games.

9-3 with a bowl bid would be a good season.

That Kentucky game could be a difficult one too. They have a veteran team (78% starters returning) and are very good on both lines. If Florida comes out sloppy due to loss of Spring Training and not enough chemistry with the new ball handlers, they could lose this one at home.
